Breaded Zucchini Fingers

Delicious! This is what my dad requested for Father's Day dinner. This is it - he didn't eat anything else.



2 eggs
½ cup dried breadcrumbs
½ cup parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 medium zucchini
non-stick cooking spray
marinara or ranch sauce, for dipping (optional)

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Prepare baking sheet with heavy spray of non-stick cooking spray, or use a Silpat liner.

Beat eggs in shallow bowl; set aside.

Mix together dry ingredients in another shallow bowl; set aside.

Cut zucchini into fingers (cut zucchini in half width-wise, then cut each half into 4 sticks).

Dip zucchini into egg substitute, then roll in bread crumbs, coating thoroughly.

Place on baking sheet.

Lightly spray tops of zucchini with non-stick spray.

Bake at 400ºF for 8 minutes; turn with spatula, then bake 7-8 minutes more, or until crispy and golden.

Serve with marinara or ranch dipping sauce, if desired.
