Notes

For extra crunch, use fresh panko breadcrumbs and ensure zucchini pieces are dry before coating. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze uncooked fries for up to 2 months. They can be baked from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
