Ingredients

  • 4 large Zucchinis cut into finger sized sticks
  • 1/2 cup oats flour
  • 2 whole eggs
  • Avocado or Olive Oil Spray

Panko Crumbs Mixture

  • 1 cup panko crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayene pepper (can reduce the amount if you have kids)
  • 1/2 tsp fine black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.

  • In 3 other bowls, whisk the eggs in one, place the flour in the second and the panko mixture in the third.
  • Dip a piece of zucchini stick into the flour, then the egg wash and then the panko crumb mix to coat well.
  • Place the coated zucchini sticks on the sheet pan leaving about half an inch of space between each one. Repeat to finish the rest of the zucchini sticks.
