A recipe that goes back years and a great way to use up all that zucchini left over from summers crop, you may adjust all seasonings to taste --- if you are a garlic lover then you may increase to 1 teaspoon, I also add in a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat --- use only dry breadcrumbs for this --- if your seasoned breadcrumbs already have salt added then omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt --- as one reviewer mentioned that she dipped the sticks into Ranch dressing so you might want to give that a try using a low fat dressing or dip

60 sticks (approx) (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumb
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (can use 1 teaspoon)
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt (or to taste, can use regular salt)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1 large egg (might use two)
3 medium zucchini (unpeeled then cut into about 3 x 1/2-inch sticks or as desired)

Directions

1
In a bowl combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper; mix well.
2
In another bowl, beat egg/s lightly.
3
Dip zucchini sticks into eggs, then into breadcrumb mixture.
4
Transfer to a greased baking sheet that has been coated with nonstick spray.
5
Bake at 425 degrees F for about 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned (you may turn the sticks over once halfway through baking time if desired).

This is an easy, vegetarian-friendly, kid-friendly recipe that I will be making again. They are great with marinara sauce. Thanks Kittencal!

I'm sorry these just were not as good as I had hoped. First off, I did not have seasoned dry bread crumbs. I had dry home made bread, added some italian seasoning. I baked these with high hopes, but they came out very moist. I even turned them. I did use just picked zukes from my garden. Maybe I cut the wedges too small? I don't know. I will try again using seasoned bread crumbs, but we usually stay away from processed foods due to corn allergies.

I was totally shocked at how delicious these crispy sticks tasted. Zucchini is not on my list of favorite vegetables and I buy it infrequently. But, I had some in the refrig and decided to try this recipe in desperation. My DH and I finished our portions and were disappointed that there wasn't more, so my advice is to make twice as much as you think you need. There wasn't a temperature setting for the oven written in the instructions, so I set mine for 375 hoping for the best. I got a phone call in the middle of the baking time and didn't turn the zucchini halfway through the baking time, and happily they were still perfectly crisp. And I used some panko dry bread crumbs which really helped make the little sticks crispy. Cornflake crumbs would be great too. Thanks for give me a recipe our family will enjoy for years to come.
