Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini, washed and trimmed
• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp italian seasoning
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 egg
Jersey Italian Gravy Tomato Basil, to serve

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Add the parmesan cheese, italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and mix to combine.
4. Whisk the egg in a shallow bowl with a splash of water.
5. Submerge a zucchini piece in the beaten egg and let excess drip off. Place in the bowl with the breadcrumb mixture and use your other hand to coat the zucchini with the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded zucchini piece on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining zucchini pieces
6. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the zucchini is barely fork tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
