A Little Slice of Heaven

2 large zucchini, cut into sticks
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Oil for frying

In a shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and paprika. Add a bit of salt and pepper to the beaten egg. Working in batches, dip the zucchini sticks in the egg mixture shaking off the excess then roll each stick in the panko mixture pressing gently to coat. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Again working in batches, place the zucchini fries in the hot oil and fry for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with a bit more salt and grated Parmesan, if desired and serve with ranch dressing for dipping.
