Baked Zucchini Fries

I wanted to find a way to incorporate "french fries" into my diet without having all of the added calories that come along with them.  I searched the web and found this recipe for "zucchini fries" on a blog entitled "Our Best Bites".  I wasn't sure how impressed I would be with this recipe but it turned out to be fab!  This recipe should yield about 4 servings depending on how big your zucchini are.  

Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini
• 1/2 cup Italian seasoned panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in bowl and set aside.
3. Whisk 2 eggs together in a shallow bowl and set aside.
4. Cut the zucchini into strips to create "fries".
5. Spoon a small amount of the bread crumb mixture into a shallow bowl or pie pan.  (You don't want to use the entire mixture at once because the bread crumbs will soak up the moisture of the eggs and won't stick to the zucchini.)
6. Dip a few of the zucchini strips into the egg and shake to remove any excess.
7. Roll them in a small amount of bread crumbs to coat.
8. Place on the lined baking sheet.
9. Repeat until all strips are coated.
10. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 425.  Flip the fries half way through.  Coating should be crisp and golden brown. Serve immediately.
