Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini Fries

  • 3 small zucchinis
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups panko-style breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Dipping Sauce

  • Ranch dipping sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Zucchini and Set Up Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Slice the zucchinis into 3-inch (7 cm) lengths and then cut them into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick strips resembling fries. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
  2. Make the Egg Mixture: Crack the two eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Beat thoroughly until fully combined. Proper seasoning here helps the coating stick and adds flavor to the fries.
  3. Prepare the Coating Mixture: On a large plate or shallow container, combine the 2 cups of panko-style breadcrumbs with the 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese. Mix evenly so the cheese is distributed throughout the breadcrumbs.
  4. Coat the Zucchini Fries: Working in batches, dip each zucchini strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then roll it thoroughly in the panko-Parmesan mixture, gently pressing to ensure all sides are coated. Place the coated fries on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all fries are coated.
  5. Bake and Serve: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and flip the fries halfway through baking to promote even browning. Bake until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with ranch dipping sauce to keep them extra crispy.

Notes

  • Using parchment paper on the baking sheet ensures easy cleanup and prevents the fries from sticking.
  • Be sure to rotate and flip the fries halfway through baking for uniform crispiness.
  • Serve immediately after baking to enjoy the fries at their crispiest texture.
  • Feel free to swap the ranch dipping sauce with a marinara or garlic aioli for different flavor profiles.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs.
