• 2 large zucchini
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 2 eggs, beaten

Step-by-step preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C and line a baking tray with foil.
2. Cut the zucchini into long, thin sticks. Peel them first if you like.
3. In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt and black pepper.
4. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
5. Dip each zucchini stick in the egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it’s well coated. Then place the sticks on the prepared tray and spray them with olive oil.
6. Bake the zucchini sticks for about 15–20 minutes, until golden and crisp.
7. Serve hot, with tomato sauce or ranch dressing for dipping if you like.
