Directions

• Heat oil to 350 degrees.
• Cut zucchini into sticks about 3 inches by 1/2-inch.
• Select three medium pie plates. Place the flour, salt, and pepper in one, the beaten eggs in the second, and the Parmesan cheese, Panko crumbs, and red pepper flakes mixed together in the third one. Press the zucchini sticks into the flour, then dip them into the eggs and shake off any excess. Now press them into the Parmesan-panko mixture and coat thoroughly. Place the breaded sticks on wax paper or a cookie sheet until you are ready to fry them. (I put them in the freezer for about an hour to help the breading stay on)
• Working in batches, fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from hot oil and drain on paper towels. Salt lightly and serve with Ranch Dressing.
