baked poblano fries
For the Spicy Ranch Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup prepared ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup salsa (any desired flavor)
For the Poblano Fries
- 2 poblano peppers, cut into thin, lengthwise strips (stems and seeds removed)
- 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
- Flour for coating (at least 1/2 cup)
- 2 eggs, beaten with a small amount of water
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
For the Spicy Ranch Dipping Sauce
Mix ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate until ready for service.
For the Poblano Fries
Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400.
In a large, shallow dish or bowl, mix Panko, Parmesan, and garlic powder. Place flour in another bowl. Place beaten eggs and water in a third bowl.
To prepare poblano fries: Dip one poblano strip into the flour, then in the egg wash, and finally in the Panko/Parmesan mixture. Lay each dredged poblano strip onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with all poblano strips.
Spray the tops of all of the poblano fries with the nonstick cooking spray (this ensures a crispy exterior).
Bake poblano fries for 18-20 minutes, or until they have crisped and turned a golden-brown color. Serve fries immediately with the Spicy Ranch Dipping Sauce.
