Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, cut into wedges

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into wedges, aiming for approximately 8 wedges per zucchini.

      Make the Coating: In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the cheese and spices are evenly distributed.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Stir in the olive oil to add flavor and help the coating adhere.

          Coat the Zucchini Wedges: Dip each zucchini wedge into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, roll the wedge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks. Repeat until all wedges are coated.

            Bake the Wedges: Arrange the coated zucchini wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even crispness.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the wedges from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy the crispy zucchini wedges with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce!
