Are they crispy, or do they get mushy in the middle? This might be a good way to use up the giant zucchinis this summer!!

They are crispy on the outside (thanks to the Pankos) and soft on the inside. You can cook them a little longer if you want them crispier.

Our local Kroger has a Parmesan Herb Panko crumb mix that is really good on zucchini fries and baked onion rings.

For onion rings, the recipe I found said to soak the rings in buttermilk for 2-3 hours. Then roll them in panko. Very similar to the zucchini fries.

I also found a recipe for baked fried pickles I'm going to try. Not sure if it's going to be good or not but I will make ranch dip out of plain greek yogurt to go with them.
