Ingredients
Scale
- 3 small zucchinis
- 2 eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- Ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups Japanese panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into fry-like sticks, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Set up your breading station with three shallow bowls: one for beaten eggs, one for panko with Parmesan, and one empty or with extra panko.
- Dip each zucchini stick into the egg mixture, then coat in the panko-Parmesan mix.
- Place the coated fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet without overlapping.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
- Serve with ranch dressing or your preferred dip.
Notes
You can prepare the zucchini in advance and bake just before serving. Ensure they are well-coated to avoid sogginess.
