"Fried" Zucchini

"Fried" Zucchini
(Don't mind the ugly paper plate!)

I absolutely love fried zucchini, but it is not the healthiest choice. So I do what my Mom, and her Mom, did. I bake it. (I'm hardly an anti-fryist, but when it works just as well to bake something, and it's healthier for my family, that's my choice!)

You will Need:

1 Zucchini
2 Eggs
1 cup Flour
1 cup Seasoned Italian Breadcrumbs
Cooking Spray
Ranch Dressing (optional) *Try Bacon Ranch or Peppercorn Ranch for a delicious twist*

Directions:

- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Use cooking spray to coat a baking sheet.
- Put the flour in one bowl , the eggs in another (and whisk), and the breadcrumbs into a third bowl.
- Peel zucchini, and cut into thin slices (not potato chip thin, but thin)
- Dip each slice first in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs.
- Arrange on the baking sheet, and spray more baking spray on top (prevents having to turn them halfway through)
- Bake for 12-24 minutes, depending on how dark you like them.
-Dip into the dressing.

Enjoy! <3
