Zucchini Fries
When you make them out of zucchini and panko there is no reason to not have fries. They are crunchy and are a perfect accompaniment to that hamburger you know you want to have tonight!
This is the fries in the oven, I’m not sure if you can tell but the pan I use has holes in the bottom.

Note: I used Kikoman Panko on these and am not sure I really like it as well as some of the others I have tried. It has a heavier texture than the bagged ones I have tried before.
