Ingredients
- Olive oil, for frying
- 1 3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3 medium zucchini, cut into 3-inch long by 1/2-inch wide strips
Directions
Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
Stir 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the panko, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip the zucchini in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the zucchini in the panko mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the zucchini strips on a baking sheet.
When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the zucchini sticks until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.
Arrange the fried zucchini on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.

Zucchini is a high water content veggie, so dredging the strips in flour first really does help keep the panko/parmigian coating from slipping off. Serve them with a thinned down ranch dressing if you really want more zing per bite! A wonderful alternative to potato fries, and a slick way to get your kds to eat (and like their veggies...

I tried the coating for this fried zucchini and the flavor was wonderful, but I will change the procedure a bit by rolling the strips in flour then egg followed by the crumb coating. The panko & cheese adhered much better with the addition of flour.

Very tasty recipe. My son will love it. Difficulty in getting crumb mixture to adhere until I rolled in flour first and then egg and crumbs.
