Wonderful Parmesan Zucchini Strips

I just read the first review from VA who only gave 4 stars because it was "a little bland". The first ingredient listed says "seasoned breadcrumbs". You used panko crumbs. While they give a much crispier crust, THEY are bland. Not the recipe. They need more than the pepper which you added. If you followed the recipe as written, you might have given 5 stars.

I used flavored panko crumbs to which I added fresh ground black pepper. I double-dipped the strips - egg, breadcrumb mixture, egg breadcrumb mixture - and placed them on a parchment lined baking sheet. These took 25 minutes in a 400 degree overn and came out crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside. Good but a little bland. I will probably add some garlic powder next time.

WOW! These were incredible! I used 2 egg whites instead of a whole egg to lower the fat & calories. I used Italian bread crumbs like Bergy & added garlic powder & fresh ground pepper like Wax Lion. We like things spicy in Texas, so I also added crushed red pepper to give it a kick and I had some fresh rosemary from the garden that I crumbled into the breading. Instead of "grated" parmesan I used a combination of shredded parmesan, asiago & romano (you can get a container in the cheese or deli section at the grocery store). Since it was shredded it didn't stick as well, but I pressed it on & the cheese got nice and crispy. Thanks for a great recipe KC!!!

Outstanding! I love this recipe. I used a mixture of seasoned regular breadcrumbs and seasoned panko breadcrumbs. These were crispy and delicious. My zucchini were a little large, so I did cut some of the seeds out to make sure my zucchini strips didn't get soggy. This is a no-fail recipe. Thanks for posting!

Yum! I sprinkled the sliced zucchini with coarse salt to help draw out some of the moisture (let it sit for 2 hours on counter and patted dry with paper towel.) Then I coated the zucchini and placed them on a cooling rack and then put in the fridge for 20 minutes (to help the coating 'set.') Baked as per directions and sprinkled with a little salt and grated Asiago cheese. Served with Hidden Valley Ranch dip with some dill seasoning added. Will be making again and have forwarded this recipe to friends!

I served these as an appetizer with ranch dressing to dip them in. I cut each piece crosswise so that it would be easier to eat as a finger food. I also sprinked additional parmesan cheese over the top when they came out of the oven. These are so good it's hard to stop eating them.

Wonderful is an understatement! These were awesome, amazing, delicious x100! I used regular breadcrumbs, and added italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a little garlic salt, per other reviews. I also used only an egg white. We dipped these in marinara sauce. Thank you so much for the wonderful side dish!

This is similar to the recipe I use. I feel it needs a little seasoning so I always add 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper. It gives it a kick and a little color.

This is great recipe. I loved it. We tried it as circles and lengthwise and it was definately better lengthwise. It retained some of the veggie flavor and didn't have to much breading. I would be careful with salt. Can be too salty.

Excellent strips. I used seasoned bread crumbs with the parmesan cheese. I served them as an appetizer with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. My 3-year old dipped and coated the strips for me. My bigger kids enjoyed the strips as well -healthier alternative!

I thought these were great! I added a bit of ranch dressing to the egg for some zing. I used cornflake crumbs because they are drier and much crunchy and seasoned them with salt and ground pepper. They came out nice and brown and crunchy and fantastic! A big hit at our house.

Like other reviewers I found this a little bland as well. I was out of bread crumbs so I crushed up some Ritz crackers and seasoned them with Italian Seasoning. Next time I think I will add some seasoning to the zucchini before breading them. My DH who is vegetarian, loved them after a sprinkling of salt and ate them as his main dish. Great use for all the zucchini from the garden!

Loved this!!! Will make again. Super easy. I used 1 large zucchini and cut it into large french fry sizes. Marie

These were really yummy. I'm so happy to have this recipe. I would have liked for the breadcrumbs to adhere a little better -- I like the extra crunch. On the last couple pieces, I did "double dip" them in the egg and breadcrumb mixture -- and they were a little heavier coated that the others. I also added salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the breadcrumb mixture as some of the others did. I would recommend that to anyone who wants to try this recipe. It's a nice, nice way to serve zucchini.

My 23 year old son hates zucchini with a passion, last night I made these as a side dish with our dinner, he told me he wasn't going to eat them, I asked him to try just one, not only did he try one but he ate every single one on his plate.....Thank You.
I did make the breadcrumb mix myself using all my favourite herbs and spices, also I turned them over to crisp up the underside as well ..YUM

Not being a big zuke fan, I nevertheless bit the bullet and made these as directed as I had a zuke to use. I was very happily surprised. These were quite nice indeed. If and when I make these again I might just find a way to incorporate some Tony Chachere's creole seasoning in this just for giggles. But as-is is just fine. Thanks for posting this recipe.

This was a great hit with my family and company! I skipped the parmesan and it was still yummy!

Yep, these were wonderful! Easy and guilt-free (crispy but not fried).

Awesome recipe! Super easy! I also used panko breadcrumbs and added salt and pepper. My parents just raved about this and said they'd never had zucchini taste that good! Thanks for posting!

I really liked this, I used reg breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and just dipped them in egg white before. I will spice it up a bit the next time. My zucchini were small so it went a lot faster than 25 minutes. Thanks for posting the receipe.
