Indulge in French Fries Minus the Potato

The farmers market is bursting with fresh zucchini and I bet many home gardens are too, so turn this delicious Summer vegetable into an appetizer everyone will love: oven-baked zucchini fries with buttermilk ranch dipping sauce. For the fries, I dipped the zucchini strips in flour, lightly beaten egg, and panko bread crumbs for an extra crunchy coating. Of course, if you are short on time, serve them with store-bought ranch, but if you love this dressing as much as I do, you won't regret making this tangy and fresh buttermilk ranch. Not only are these fries great as an appetizer, but they would make a great side dish too. So celebrate the season with zucchini fries and buttermilk ranch!
