Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0 olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis and cut them into thick sticks, about 3-4 inches long, resembling french fries.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

In another dish, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 5

Place the gluten-free all-purpose flour in a third dish.

Step 6

Start the breading process: Dredge a zucchini stick in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip back into the dish. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully covered.

Step 7

Place the breaded zucchini stick on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini sticks.

Step 8

Lightly spray the coated zucchini sticks with olive oil cooking spray. This will help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the zucchini sticks are golden brown and crisp, turning them halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
