I couldn't help myself =)
I had intended on simply dipping these bad boys in garlicky red sauce.
Then I covered them in melted parm/romano/mozzarella cheese.
and THEN dipped them in the sauce =)
Sorry there are no pictures of the cheesy goodness. I ate them in record speed!
T-Rex Chefs dip sticks in egg whites before rolling in panko
Brontosaurus Chefs dip in dijon mustard instead of egg whites
What's in it?
1 Zucchini squash
1/4-1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 egg white or 1/4 cup dijon mustard
1-2 servings of Sargento Italian blend shredded cheese (or vegan cheeze)
1/4-1/2 cup Homemade or store bought marinara sauce
Garlic powder to taste
Mrs. Dash Italian seasoning blend to taste
Salt and pepper to taste
Get Cooking!
Preheat oven to 375F. Grab 2 bowls. Mix your panko and herbs in one bowl, and pour mustard or egg whites in the other. Slice zucchini into thin but hearty strips. Dip in egg white or mustard and then roll in the panko bowl. If more crunch is desired, sprinkle a little extra panko on top of each stick. Line zucchini sticks on a foil lined and olive oil greased cooking sheet. Bake for 20-30 minutes on the middle rack or until golden. If you're going to get cheesy like I did, cover sticks with cheese within the last 5-10 minutes of cooking. Pat yourself on the back b/c you just ate an entire zucchini =)

I need to buy more placemats just for blog food pics, it makes it fun!
Have a great day love!!!!
Yuummm! That's all I can really say. :)
I'm not prejudiced. I'll eat ANY fry! :)
Apparently zucchini fries have been a popular thing in the blog world as of late! I've done them before, but haven't had bread crumbs around for a while to repeat it... :(
I like any fry. Not picky. And I may get really really excited if they're accompanied with ranch- my favorite dipping sauce! (weird, but try it!)
You are making me so hungry! These look awesome.
These look so good! It made me think of these zucchini patties my Mom and Dad make. Yum!
Oh wow these look AMAZING! I love your blog!
We love zucchini fries in our house! They with just about every meal :)
Yummmmmmmo. I would love to eat those right now.
I love the super thin onion shoestring fries, they melt in your mouth!
But a good sweet potato fry is always nice!
My kids don't like fries of any kind, I think they're a little strange ;P
I love zucchini! Yum! I have to say that my favorite right now is parsnip fries!! You should try them if you haven't yet :)
Ohhhh my gosh WHY did I not put cheese on mine?! That would have been DIVINE!
I wonder how it would be to mix nooch in the breadcrumbby mixture... definitely need to try this
these look fab!! can't wait to try.
Whoa! That sounds stinkin delicious... especially your veggie friendly version with dipping them in mustard before the bread crumbs! Redonk!
Ahhh so good! My mouth is watering!!
Wow...these sound amazing! I will be trying these very soon!
Wow! Those look amazing! I think my ten year old would even like them. Thanks for the recipe.
girlfriend, I need you in my kitchen stat! those look uh.mazing ... is there a calorie count attached to those? :)
Mmmm...sweet potato fries are my favorite, but these could convince me to put zucchini fries as number one!
Oh yum! Those look so good!
Mmmmm I have made something like this before and it was amazing. I was very proud of myself for eating an entire zucchini, however I could prob eat an entire butternut squash if made into fries!
These look delicious!! My favorite type of fries are waffle fries! Love them! Plus, I always need a ton of ketchup!
Seriously-why aren't we neighbors? FOR REAL!!!!
Sweet potato is my fav...but throw any of the others at me and i'm not going to pretend to not house those too!
Those sound and look good....new follower here from the swap blog link party...
Have a blessed day

These look awesome! I've made a variation with green bell peppers, but I love the idea of using zucchini slices.
My favorite kind of fry is definitely shoe-string sweet potato fries at one of our tiny local diners..they're simply to-die-for :)

those fries look too good to be true. and omg, i never even thought of trying portobello mushroom fries. i am a mushroom fanatic. how have i not thought of this before?!?
so far, my favorite kind of fries are sweet potato, but i have a feeling that will change after i try the portobellos. :)

This looks great - will have to give it a try!

Yay! Thanks for the cutting board love! My favorite type of fry is seasoned curly fries. :-) But I am definitely going to try these. Definitely get a wooden cutting board! I try to hide my plastic ones behind the wooden ones, but my husband keeps putting them out in front. Anyway, I love it especially to look at :-) Thanks again ~Barbara

Delicious! This is definitely one of favorite ways to make zucchini! I love the idea of dipping it in a garlicy tomato sauce...I usually make a yogurt ranch to go with it, but I'm going to try it with tomato sauce next time! :)
Yum! I love zucchini! I will definitely be making these! Sweet potato fries are my absolute fave!
That looks so stinkin' good!
Your fries look good with all that flaky coating!
My favorite is Sweet Potato Fries, hands down!
With a cream brown sugar dip, yum!

Yum! I am your newest follower - I found you over at Homemaker on a Dime Follower swap. I am putting you in my post. www.mycreativeescapes.blogspot.com.
VERY nice! I love fried zucchini and tried my own way of making it more healthy by baking, but I think I'm liking your way more w/the panko...and the cheese, I'm not gonna lie ;-)
Visiting from TMTT!
I need to remember this recipe for next summer when I'm picking multiple zucchini daily.
I often dip Zucchini slices in pancake batter (mixed with water) and cook them just like you make pancakes. When they are browned on each side, sprinkle with sugar. Yum!
I think I want you to be my new best friend and make these for me. ;) They look amazing!! I was thinking I'd like to grow some zucchini this year, but wasn't sure about recipes other than salads, bread, cake, etc. This one is fun and really makes me want to grow them now!! Thanks so much for joining my party (and for linking back! I really appreciate that!). Have fun finding some new reads. Hope you'll stop by Serenity Now again soon! :)
I love zucchini! It is my favorite vegetable. I even named my etsy store after it ("Zucchini Summer")....I don't sell zucchini, but just had to name the shop that. :)
This recipe looks great. As soon as I can get my hands on some zucs I will give it a try!
PS--Visiting from Serenity Now
Hi Jenn,
Thanks for stopping by!! These look so yummy!!! My grandmother makes something very similar. I tried to replicate them one day and of course they never tasted as good as hers did.
oh wow! those look super! I love zuc!
we just had these tonight! the children ate them all!
Yum-eeeeeeeeeee!!!! I wanna make these NOW!! Too bad it's almost 10pm & I don't have zucchini or crumbs :) Definitely this week, though!

My favorite is carrot fries. Waffle cut carrots, dump in a zippy bag w/EVOO, garlic powder, onion powder & paprika. Bake on foil lined pan. Yum!
