By yollymg

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds zucchini, trimmed
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
• 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper, divided
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups panko or plain bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Tbsp. chopped dill (optional)
• Chipotle Cornmeal Green Bean Fries
• Oven-Baked Steak Fries
• Carrot Fries
• Spiced Sweet Potato Fries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°.

Arrange an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and a second one in the center. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut zucchini into thick French-fry-size sticks, about 3 inches long.

Arrange 3 shallow, wide bowls or pie plates in a row. In the first bowl, stir together flour, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. In the third bowl, combine panko, Parmesan, dill (if using), and 1/2 tsp. salt.

Working in batches, first dip zucchini in flour, shaking off excess. Transfer to egg mixture and toss until coated. Let excess egg run off, then coat zucchini in panko mixture.
