4 servings
- 2 medium zucchini (about 1 lb total)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 large eggs
Ingredient noteEggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp italian seasoning
Ingredient noteSpice blends are fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution applies to concentrated herbal oils and supplements, not everyday seasoning.
- olive oil spray
For serving
- marinara sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Trim the ends from the zucchini and cut each one in half crosswise, then cut each half into spears about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick — aim for roughly uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
- 2
Set up a three-bowl breading station: in the first bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, combine the panko, grated Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
