Ingredients

3 medium zucchini (140g each), trimmed

3 eggs, lightly beaten

11⁄2 cups Panko breadcrumbs

1/3 cup finely grated parmesan

1⁄4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley

1/3 cup plain flour

Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking oil spray

Garlic aioli, to serve

Method

Cut a zucchini in half crossways. Cut each piece in half lengthways. Cut each half lengthways again into three even strips, to make a total of 12 lengths. Repeat with remaining zucchini.

Place eggs in a shallow dish. Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan and parsley in a separate, shallow dish. Toss zucchini in flour seasoned with salt and pepper, shake away excess.

In batches, dip into eggs, then toss in breadcrumb mixture, pressing on to coat.

Place in a single layer on two large oven trays lined with baking paper. Spray with cooking oil.

Cook in a hot oven (200C), turning halfway through, for about 20 minutes or until fries are golden and crisp.

Serve immediately with aioli.
