Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 33m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 -5 small zucchini, cut in strips
2 eggs, beaten well

Steps:

  • Mix crumbs and parmesan.
  • Dip zucchini strips in beaten egg, then in crumb mixture.
  • Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Place strips on sheet.
  • Bake at 425* for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for medium-sized zucchini with firm flesh and smooth skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife and cut the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • Coat the zucchini slices thoroughly: The coating helps the zucchini to crisp up and prevents them from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Bake the zucchini slices at a high temperature: This will help them to cook quickly and evenly. Bake the zucchini slices at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
  • Serve the zucchini slices immediately: Zucchini slices are best served hot and crispy. You can serve them with a dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or marinara sauce.
