Ingredients
- 4 small zucchini spears cut on an angle
- 2 eggs
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk
- 1 cup Italian-style bread crumbs or finely blended croutons
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- salt and pepper
- butter or cooking spray
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine eggs and milk in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini piece into the egg mixture, then dip into bread crumbs until evenly coated in crumbs. Place zucchini on baking sheet, spray the top of each with cooking/butter spray and then bake in the oven at 425-degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- For an added crisp, turn the oven to broil and cook for about 30-45 seconds longer or until golden (watch them closely to prevent burning). Remove from oven and serve hot with ranch dressing or marinara/pizza sauce for dipping.
- *If you really want them fried, you can follow the same preparation instructions but instead of baking: fry in a shallow pan of vegetable oil, turning once to brown on each side.

Notes
- For the crispiest ever zucchini, slice the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle salt over the zucchini slices and toss to combine. Let sit for 30 minutes and then pat dry with a paper towel. The salt will draw out some of the moisture from the zucchini.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, bake in the oven or air fryer.
- Need dip ideas? We've used marinara sauce, ranch, ketchup, fry sauce, and even guacamole or tzatziki sauce.
