Step Description
1 Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2 Prepare a baking sheet by spraying a heavy coat of non-stick cooking spray.
3 In a shallow bowl, place the Ener-G Egg Substitute (or eggs); set aside.
4 In another shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; mix well and set aside.
5 Cut zucchinis into finger-sized pieces, approximately 3/8″x3″.
6 Dip each zucchini finger into the egg substitute, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
7 Roll the coated zucchini in the Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating.
8 Place the coated zucchini fingers onto the prepared baking sheet.
9 Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini fingers with olive oil flavored cooking spray.
10 Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, then use a spatula to turn them over.
11 Continue baking for an additional 7-8 minutes, or until the zucchini fingers are crispy and golden brown.
12 Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
13 Serve warm with marinara dipping sauce, if desired.
