Crunchy Oven Baked  Zucchini Fingers

Crunchy Oven Baked Zucchini Fingers

Who new zucchini had fingers?  This is a quick easy appetizer, after school snack or side dish that can be “spiced” to your taste.  They satisfy the crunchy “fried” craving I often have when I think of appetizers – but they are really very light and healthy too! Leftovers work well the next day too!

Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Zucchini – Green or Yellow!
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 cups Panko Bread Crumbs – I used Chipotle flavored Bread Crumbs – very spicy. So if you are making this for kids use the plain panko crumbs!
  • 1/2 cup parmasean cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

How to:

  • Preheat over to 375F.
  • Place egg, in a bowl  add a sprinkle of salt & pepper.
  • Whisk to combine. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix together bread crumbs, and parmesean cheese.
  • Dip zucchini fingers in egg wash then roll them over bread crumb mix.
  • Return to egg wash and roll them in breadcrumbs a second time.
  • Lay them on a cookie tray ½ inch apart.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove and serve with a tomato sauce or I like to use Tzatziki sauce
