- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Add the water and egg white into the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Dip each snack stick into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 6
Place coated sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, not touching each other.
Step 7
Lightly spray the top of the sticks with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each stick and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Step 9
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 10
Add the baked snack sticks to the skillet, and lightly pan-fry them until they are crisp on all sides, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 11
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 12
Serve warm with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce and enjoy!
