Description

These breaded zucchini sticks are dipped in egg, coated in panko, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan, then baked for a healthier alternative to fries.

Ingredients

3 small zucchini, cut into french-fry shaped pieces
salt to taste
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2 Season zucchini with salt; set aside.
3 Place beaten eggs in a shallow bowl. Mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a second shallow bowl.
4 Dip zucchini in beaten eggs, then press into bread crumbs to coat. Gently toss between your hands to remove excess bread crumbs.
5 Arrange breaded zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
6 Bake zucchini in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
