  • Dip each zucchini stick first into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly with the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can bake them for a few minutes longer, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. These are great with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or aioli.
