Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan (2 1/4 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 large egg whites
2 large zucchini (1 1/4 pounds total), halved crosswise and cut into 1/2-inch wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly coat 2 rimmed baking sheets with cooking spray. In a wide, shallow dish, mix together panko, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, cayenne, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a medium bowl, lightly beat egg whites.
  • Working with one at a time, dip zucchini wedges in egg whites, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange on sheets in a single layer. Bake until coating is golden brown and crisp, 20 minutes, flipping zucchini and rotating sheets halfway through. Season to taste with salt and pepper; serve immediately.
