Parmesan Zucchini Fries
Zucchini fries oven baked with Japanese panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Serve these crispy zucchini French fries with ranch dressing as a healthy and low calorie snack.
Ingredients
- 3 small zucchini
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 dash ground black pepper
- 2 cups Japanese panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 serving ranch dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Slice the zucchinis into 3-inch lengths and cut them into 1/2-inch thick strips. In a bowl, add salt and 3 dashes of ground black pepper to the eggs and beat well. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- On a large plate or in a container, mix the panko and parmesan cheese together. Working in batches, dip some zucchini strips into the beaten eggs, shaking off the excess, and roll it in the panko mixture, pressing gently to coat well.
- Transfer the coated zucchini strips to the baking sheet. Repeat until all the strips are coated.
- Bake, rotating the sheets and turning the zucchini fries halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately with ranch dressing.
