A less greasy and easier-to-make alternative to French fries is baked zucchini with Parmesan cheese. These crispy sticks can be served with your favorite dip or, for example, topped with a cheese sauce. While cooking, you may find that some of the breadcrumbs are coarse. If this happens, crushing them with your fingers or a rolling pin will help finern them so they coat the zucchini better.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Place two racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425°F (218°C). Place the racks on baking sheets and coat them with cooking spray.
- Combine flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large resealable bag. In another resealable bag, combine eggs with 3/4 teaspoon salt. In a third, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan and 3/4 tsp. salt.
- Add about half of the zucchini sticks to the bag with flour. Shake and knead the mixture with your hands until the zucchini is coated with the mixture. Remove the sticks and shake off any excess flour. Place them in the bag with the eggs and repeat until coated. Let any excess drip off before adding to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Repeat until completely coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheets and generously coat the breaded zucchini sticks with cooking spray. Repeat with the remaining zucchini.
- Bake, rotating the top and bottom baking sheets about halfway through, until the zucchini is golden brown and tender, 25-30 minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt and serve warm with your favorite dips.
