Ingredients

• 3 small zucchini, cut into french-fry shaped pieces
• salt to taste
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Season zucchini pieces with salt.
3. Mix panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a bowl.
4. Dip zucchini pieces into the beaten eggs and then press into bread crumbs to coat; gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven’t stuck can fall away. Arrange breaded zucchini onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
