How to Make Parmesan Zucchini Fries

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Cut 2 medium zucchinis into 1/2-inch sticks, then pat dry.
Combine panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
Coat each zucchini stick in flour, dip in beaten egg, then press into the Parmesan-panko mixture.
Arrange fries on the sheet, spacing at least 1/2 inch apart, and bake for 20–25 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with warm marinara sauce.
