Zucchini Fries-Baked in the oven

Zucchini Fries - Baked in the oven

If you crave snacks but want to stay on the healthier side, you must try these.

What you need:

3 small zucchini, or 2 large
2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning salt
2 eggs or egg substitute
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 cup panko crumbs, regular breadcrumbs of gluten free breadcrumbs

Now the fun part: 

Preheat oven to 425. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Set aside.

Start by cutting your zucchini. Cut off each end. Then cut the zucchini in half and then lengthwise. Set one piece on its end and cut it in half lengthwise. Cut that half in half. Cut that half in half.

Stack the planks on top of each other and cut into strips. Lightly sprinkle with salt.

Combine panko crumbs, italian seasoning, and shredded parmesan cheese in a shallow dish.

Whisk the egg together and working in batches dip each zucchini strip into the egg and coat well in panko mixture.

Set on a the cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 until lightly brown. 

I dipped them in marinara sauce. You could use ranch dressing or any kind of sauce you like.
