    I have been making a nearly identical recipe for a couple years. (great minds think alike, right?) It goes over BIG with my co-workers and my young kids. At work, we use light 3-cheese ranch. My kids preffer no dip. It freezes well wrapped in foil, reheat in a toaster overn for a winter snack. - 8/12/09

    Made this recipe tonight using crushed Pepperidge Farm Herb Seasoned stuffing. The zucchini was tender on the inside and crunchy from the bread crumbs on the outside and the parmesan cheese added a nice flavor. Our 14 yr. old son, who is not a fan of zucchini, loved it. Will definitely make again - 8/24/09

    Does the calorie count include the olive oil (which is omitted from the recipe) and the lemon aoli sauce(what is that?) - 8/25/09

    Yes the calorie count does include the olive oil ... sorry to have omited it in the version that appears. Lemon Aoli is a mayonnise base sauce with lemon juice (look up recipe).

    I make a similar baked zucchini fry, I spice it up with cajun seasoning mixed with the breadcrumbs. - 8/25/09

    Tried this recipe for dinner last night. My husband and I loved it. The zucchini cooks up soft on the inside but crispy on the outside, and was delicious. We have a bumper crop from our garden right now so we're trying to eat it every night with dinner, and this was another great way to have it. - 8/18/09

    The best I've ever had! Way better than fried. You should try it. - 8/15/09

    Since I'm low-carb, I eliminate the panko and just use parmesan and sometimes sesame seeds as the breading. - 6/3/14

    Made this for supper tonight with zucchini fresh from the garden! Very good! We dipped them in tzatziki sauce. Will definitely make this again. - 7/30/11

    This was great. Will certainly make again. I used 2 zucchini with 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs with no parmesan and still had at least 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs leftover. - 7/14/11

    Tried a modified version with panko, and Mrs. Dash garlic & herb instead of the oregano and cheese. Pretty good! - 8/7/10

    Who needs french fries. I forgot to coat in oil but the dry stuff stuck just fine. I also left out the salt and pepper and used 1/2 tsp of Mrs. Dash Table blend. I used Kraft Three Cheese Ranch dressing for dip. The zucchini was so soft and tender and tasty. I am making them again for dinner. - 5/4/10

    My mom and I loved these! She came over for dinner and I had zucchini I didn't want going bad. Everyone knows how that goes. Anyway, I didn't have any oregano and I used Italian Bread Crumbs. Turned out delish! Bought more zucchini today to make them for my 5-year-old daughter who loves zucchini! - 2/11/10

    I made this last night, and it was yummy! I ground up french fried onions, put the parm, garlic powder and italian seasoning in, and dipped the sticks in EVOO, and breaded them. Turned out yummy, even the hubby liked them! Thanks! - 8/24/09

    It was not what I thought it would be but then I have not had a great deal of zucchini before. - 8/19/09

    Going to try this for lunch for the grandchildren. Plain zucchini doesn't go real well, they love it baked in bread tho. So I hope this will be a new way to use the excess from the garden. - 8/15/09
  • RHOOK20047
    Great timely recipe since zucchini will be plentiful soon in the garden. This is a variation of the way I make it and it is a hit with a family/ - 6/22/21
