#### Ingredients:

- About 1 lb. zucchini

- 1/2 cup Italian-seasoned panko breadcrumbs

- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the crumbly stuff, not shreds)

- 2 eggs

#### Instructions:

1. **Preheat Oven**:

   - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. **Prepare Coating**:

   - In a shallow dish, combine the Italian-seasoned panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well and set aside.

3. **Whisk Eggs**:

   - In another shallow dish or pie plate, whisk the eggs together. Set aside.

4. **Prepare Zucchini**:

   - Cut the ends off the zucchini and halve them lengthwise, resulting in two short, stubby pieces. Stand one piece on its end and cut it in half lengthwise again. Then, cut each half into thin strips or fries.

   - Blot the zucchini pieces with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

5. **Coat Zucchini**:

   - Working with a small handful of zucchini at a time, dip the strips into the beaten eggs, shaking off any excess.

   - Roll the egg-coated zucchini strips in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Repeat the process until all zucchini strips are coated.

6. **Bake**:

   - Arrange the coated zucchini fries on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each fry.

   - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Then, remove from the oven, flip the fries using tongs, and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the zucchini is tender and the coating is crisp and golden brown.

7. **Serve**:

   - Once baked to perfection, remove the zucchini fries from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce such as pizza sauce or buttermilk ranch dressing.

   - Enjoy these delicious baked zucchini fries as a healthier alternative to traditional fries!
