Baked Zucchini Fries

Based on this recipe: https://damndelicious.net/2015/04/18/baked-zucchini-fries/

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup Progresso bread crumbs (original recipe uses Panko bread crumbs)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
garlic powder, onion powder, to taste
4 zucchini, quartered lengthwise (I like to cut them into disks about 1/8 inch wide)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a cooling rack with nonstick spray and place on a baking sheet; set aside.

In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan and Italian seasoning; season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder, to taste. Set aside.

Working in batches, dredge zucchini in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat.

Place zucchini onto prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

I served this with angel hair pasta tossed with marinara and pan-cooked chicken breast.

Eli wants me to try using these as the basis of a dish like eggplant parm, but with zucchini. I'll get around to it one of these days.
