Ingredients

• 3 medium Carrots
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 medium Bell peppers
• 1 head Broccoli
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into sticks about 1/4-inch thick. Slice the zucchini into similar-sized sticks. Chop the bell peppers into strips and cut the broccoli into small florets.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together until smooth.

Step 5

Set up a dredging station: one bowl with whisked eggs and one bowl with the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 6

Dip each vegetable piece into the egg mixture, allowing excess egg to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated vegetables onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly.

Step 7

Drizzle the coated vegetables lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up while baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the coating is golden brown and crispy. Turn the vegetables halfway through cooking for even browning.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or snack with your favorite dipping sauce.
