Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with cooking spray.
Slice the zucchini into sticks, about 4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined.
In a third shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
Dredge each zucchini stick in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Dip the sticks into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Roll the zucchini sticks in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini sticks with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini sticks are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch dressing.
