I had to use seasoned bread crumbs in place of panko, therefore omiting the italian seasoning. That being said, these were wonderful. I've never had panko before, so i don't know what i'm missing but i didn't feel like these were lacking in any way. Even my youngest who would never eat zucchini gobbled this up. We did salt them after baking and dipped in ketchup. Thanks for a great recipe!
