Baked Panko-Crusted Zucchini Fries

Firstly, preheat your oven to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). To make the process easier, cover your baking sheet with a layer of aluminum foil to prevent any mess.

To prepare the zucchini, sprinkle it generously with salt and set it aside for a moment. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Next, in a separate shallow dish, whisk eggs until they become smooth and creamy. In another shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried Italian seasoning. Mix these ingredients well to create a uniform blend.

Now, take the zucchini and dip it into the bowl of beaten eggs, making sure to coat it evenly. After that, press the zucchini into the bowl of bread crumbs mixture, pressing down gently to secure it in place. Use your hands to gently toss the zucchini and remove any excess bread crumbs.

Finally, arrange the breaded zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place it in the preheated oven and bake until the zucchini is golden brown, taking approximately 15 minutes to achieve this.
