Ingredients
Scale
- 3 small zucchinis
- 2 eggs
- 1 pinch salt
- Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Japanese panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Ranch dressing (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Slice zucchinis into 3-inch lengths and cut into 1/2-inch thick strips. In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs, salt, and ground black pepper. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a separate container, mix panko bread crumbs with grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each zucchini strip into the egg wash, shake off excess liquid, then roll in the panko mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated zucchini on the lined baking sheet so they’re spaced out. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, rotating halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.
