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

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Slice zucchinis into strips about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together eggs, salt, and pepper. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. On a large plate, combine panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dip zucchini strips into the egg mixture, then coat them in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Arrange the coated zucchini strips on the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
