Parmesan Crusted Zucchini Sticks
people
Parmesan Zucchini Fries made with two different kinds of bread crumbs, Italian herbs and Parmesan cheese is an easy recipe for a perfect side dish or appetizer. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
Ingredients
- 2 large zucchini
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup plain bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F, and prepare a rimmed baking sheet by spraying it generously with cooking spray.
- In medium bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a shallow baking dish, combine both breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Wash each zucchini, cut off the ends, and then slice in half. Cut into sticks about 2" long and ¼-½" wide. Not necessary, but helpful: use paper towels to dry the individual sticks. Since zucchini has a high water content, this will help the egg mixture adhere and ensure a better covering of breadcrumbs.
- Place about 4 of the zucchini sticks into the eggs, and completely cover all sides.
- Put zucchini into the bread crumb mixture and toss to completely coat.
- Place onto prepared baking sheet.
- Spray zucchini sticks with cooking spray and place into oven.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden.
- Serve plain, with marinara sauce, ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
