Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice zucchini into uniform sticks, about ½ inch thick. Place on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. For vegan, prepare a flax egg.
  5. Dip each zucchini stick into the egg mixture, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to coat well.
  6. Arrange the coated zucchini sticks on the baking sheet with space between them. Lightly drizzle with olive oil or cooking spray.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning. They should be golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your crispy snack.
