Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Wash and dry the vegetables. Slice the zucchini and carrots into 1/4-inch thick coins, and ensure the broccoli and cauliflower are in bite-sized florets.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a separate shallow bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each piece of vegetable into the egg mixture, ensuring itβs evenly coated.
Next, coat the vegetable in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs.
Place the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid crowding them to ensure even crispiness.
Lightly spray the vegetables with olive oil spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the vegetables are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy them plain, or pair with your favorite dipping sauce!
