Baked Zucchini Sticks

Zucchini has become one of my new favorite vegetables.  I have found so many interesting new ways to prepare it lately.  One that is quite tasty is to bread and bake them.  

Here's What You Need:

2 large zucchini, peeled

1 cup breadcrumbs or panko

1 egg

1 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp ground pepper

cooking spray

Here's What You Do:

Take your peeled zucchini and slice them in half.  Cut each half into strips about the size of french fries.  Each half of mine gave me about 12 strips.  

In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic salt, and ground pepper. 

In a separate bowl, beat the egg.  Dip the sticks a couple at a time into the egg and then into the breadcrumb mixture.

Place the sticks onto a pan coated with cooking spray.  After all of the sticks are on the pan, lightly spray them again with cooking spray.  (I use olive oil spray).

Bake at 400F for 25 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs turn a golden brown.

Serve with marinara sauce.
