Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your zucchini sticks will become crispy as they bake.

Prepare the Zucchini
Wash the zucchini thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice each zucchini into sticks about 1/2 inch thick. Ensure they are uniform in size for even cooking.
Breading Process
- 3
Set Up Breading Stations
In three separate bowls, set up your breading stations. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Bread the Zucchini
Take each zucchini stick and coat it in flour first, shaking off the excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the zucchini in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
Baking
- 5
Prepare Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- 6
Arrange Zucchini Sticks
Place the breaded zucchini sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they aren't touching each other for even cooking.
- 7
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini sticks to help them crisp up while baking.
- 8
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even browning.

Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the zucchini sticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.
