We love fried zucchini, this is a way that we can enjoy it without the guilt and it is every bit as good!
Ingredients
- 4-5 small zucchini spears, cut on an angle
- 2 eggs
- 1-2 Tbsp. milk
- 1 c. Italian-style bread crumbs or finely blended croutons
- 1/2 c. parmesan cheese
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Butter or cooking spray
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine eggs and milk in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini piece into the egg mixture, then dip into bread crumbs until evenly coated in crumbs. Place zucchini on baking sheet, spray the top of each with cooking/butter spray and then bake in the oven at 425-degrees for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- For an added crisp, turn the oven to broil and cook for about 30-45 seconds longer or until golden (watch them closely to prevent burning). Remove from oven and serve hot with ranch dressing or marinara/pizza sauce for dipping.
- *If you really want them fried, you can follow the same preparation instructions but instead of baking: fry in a shallow pan of vegetable oil, turning once to brown on each side.
