Baked Zucchini Sticks.

This morning I had eight zucchini from our garden piled up in the refrigerator.

Now I only have four.

Why?

Because for lunch I made these:

Baked zucchini sticks: Quite possibly our favorite was to eat zucchini. The process/recipe is simple.

Okay. I’ll share it with you.

Since you asked.

Start out with three or four medium-to-large zucchini:

Cut them into thick wedges. (Easiest way is to cut off the ends, cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then in half the other way, then cut each of those sections into 3/4″ thick wedges/sticks.) Sprinkle with salt and toss.

Combine three eggs in a small, shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine 1 c. Italian bread crumbs, 1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese, pinch of salt and pepper, and pinch of garlic powder.

Dip each stick into the eggs, then roll in crumb mixture. Place on a greased foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes. Flip over; broil on high for 1 to 2 minutes or till crunchy. (Watch carefully.)

Serve hot with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping!
