- 1 pound zucchini (cut into 1/2-inch sticks)
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it.
- In one shallow dish, combine flour, garlic powder, and salt. In another dish, beat the egg. In a third dish, mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat each zucchini stick by first dipping it in the flour mixture, then the egg wash, and finally rolling it in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
