Baked Zucchini Sticks

Made these to go with Smothered Pork Loins and Mash - I used Panko breadcrumbs which I would not do again as most fell off - I think if you made fresh breadcrumbs they would stick better




For 4 people
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced into skinny sticks
  • 1 large egg white, beaten
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

1. Preheat oven to 425° Gas 8. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl, beat egg whites with a fork until frothy.
3. Put the breadcrumbs, oregano, garlic powder and cheese on a plate. Mix well.
4. Dip the zucchini sticks in the egg whites and then into the bread crumb mixture, make sure all
sides get coated well. 
5. Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet. 
6. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and a little crispy.
