Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Strips:

Makes 12 Strips:

2 organic zucchini 

6 tablespoons organic panko breadcrumbs

6 tablespoons organic Italian breadcrumbs

2 organic egg whites

4 tablespoons organic flour

5 tablespoons organic vegan parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Optional Seasonings: organic parsley, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, fresh ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 

Spread flour onto a dish and set aside. Scramble both egg whites with about 2 tablespoons of water, place onto a separate dish and set aside. Mix both types of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese together. Add any optional seasonings of your choice to breadcrumb/cheese mixture and place onto a separate dish and set aside.

Cut each zucchini into 6 strips by first cutting in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3 individual strips.

One strip at a time, first roll in flour, then egg whites, then into breadcrumb mixture covering it fully, and place onto parchment paper. 

Bake for 15-20 or until strips become crispy, checking occasionally. Serve with a side of maranara sauce and enjoy!

Helpful tips: To help four stick initially, I dab zucchini on all three sides with a very little amount of water. Also, make sure egg is covering all of the zucchini strip before dipping into breadcrumbs while also letting any excess egg fall off first.
