Ingredients
  

  • 3 thin zucchini squash
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • salt and black pepper
  • 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray.
  • Wash the zucchini and cut off the tops and bottoms.
  • Slice the zucchini in half width-wise.
  • Then slice each section in half length-wise.
  • Then cut each section into 3 wedges ending up with 36 zucchini sticks.
  • Prepare 2 shallow bowls for the batter. One with 3 beaten eggs and the other with the panko, parmesan, salt, and pepper.
  • Roll the zucchini sticks in the egg mixture and then into the bread crumb mixture.
  • Set the breaded zucchini on the greased baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Place the baking sheet with zucchini into a 400 degree oven for 40 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve with a dipping sauce such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or marinara sauce.

Notes

Choose thin zucchini so that your zucchini strips will not be too thick and you can get some of the skin with each wedge. This will help give the zucchini some stability since the batter is light and they are not fried.
Feel free to add spices to your panko mixture such as garlic powder or onion powder.
