Ingredients
Scale
- 3 small zucchini, sliced into ½-inch strips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups panko-style breadcrumbs
- ½ cup finely grated Parmesan
- Ranch dipping sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Slice the zucchinis into 3-inch (7 cm) lengths and cut them into ½-inch (1 cm) thick strips.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of kosher salt and black pepper.
- On a plate or shallow container, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
- Working in batches, dip each zucchini strip first into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat in the panko-Parmesan mix, pressing gently so it adheres.
- Place coated strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between fries.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with ranch dipping sauce.
Notes
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure fries stay crispy.
