Ingredients

3 small zucchinis

2 eggs

1 pinch salt

Ground black pepper, to taste

2 cups Japanese panko bread crumbs

½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Ranch dressing, for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice the zucchinis into 3-inch lengths and ½-inch thick strips.

In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and a few dashes of black pepper.

On a large plate or shallow container, mix the panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

Working in batches, dip zucchini strips into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then roll in the panko-parmesan mixture, pressing gently to coat well.

Arrange the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning the fries and rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Serve immediately with ranch dressing.

Notes

For extra crispiness, place the zucchini fries on a wire rack set over the baking sheet.

Try marinara, garlic aioli, or spicy mayo as dipping sauce alternatives.

These fries are best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
