- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix panko, parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly spray your baking sheet with olive oil spray.
- Dip each zucchini stick into the egg, then roll in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture until fully coated.

- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

- Make sure zucchini sticks are similar in size for even cooking.

- Try different seasonings like paprika or Italian herbs for variation.
