Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into sticks, aiming for about ½-inch thick.
  3. In one bowl, whisk together the eggs. In another bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dredge each zucchini stick in flour, dip it into the egg mixture, then roll it in the cheese-breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Place the coated zucchini sticks in a single layer on the lined baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  6. Bake for 22-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve warm with dipping sauces.
