Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1 egg, lightly stirred
• 1 tbsp. water
• 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2-3 medium size zucchini squash
• Sea salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray baking sheet lightly. Trim ends of zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. Cut each half into 2 lengthwise strips. If using large zucchini, reduce size of strips by cutting crosswise.

Mix egg and water together. Dip each zucchini strip in egg wash and then coat with bread crumbs. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven, lightly sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and sea salt. Serve immediately.
