Kittencal's Fried Parmesan Zucchini Sticks

"These have been a long time family favorite, use only dry breadcrumbs for this as fresh will not stick to the zucchini, the cayenne is only optional add in for some heat --- if desired you may slice the zucchini into rounds instead if sticks--- also see my recipe#244592"

  1. We loved these! Made for dinner tonight as a side dish. They were very easy and quick to throw together. I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, so I omitted the Italian seasoning and some of the garlic powder. I also left out the seasoning salt to cut down on sodium. Ended up cutting the zucchini into rounds. I was very impressed with how they turned out - especially since my husband (who's not so much into any veggies beyond french fries ;-)) said they were good and he'd gladly eat them anytime. Thanks for the awesome recipe!!!!
     
  2. Outstanding!! I changed the recipe slightly because I didn't have dried bread crumbs. I substituted corn meal and they were wonderfully crispy and flavorful. We have made these a couple times already and my kids absolutely love them. I also sprinkled lemon pepper on mine when they were done frying.
     
  3. I made these this past week and they were very yummy! A great way to use up the zucchini in my garden. I just sliced them so I had rounds and panfried. Extremely easy and tasty! I used seasoned bread crumbs and dipped them in ranch dressing. I know these will be made again.
     
  4. MMMMMMM! I served this for guests and we ran out because everyone devoured them...even our kids! They are soooooo good!
     
  5. Wonderful as always kittencal! I used italian breadcrumbs so left out most of the spices except for the garlic powder. Loved the mixture of the flour with the breadcrumbs, made for a great batter texture. Only change I would make is more salt, but that's about just personal preference. Will definitely do again, thanks!
