Parmesan-Crusted Zucchini Sticks

Welp, I planned to make zucchini chips, with the original recipe found here, with the adapted recipe found here, and I found it on...Pinterest! Then I saw this recipe on my friend Jourdan's blog, which she originally found here, and I decided to make hers to go with the Tomato Artichoke Soup that I made this weekend (amazinggg by the way!).

These were delicious. Perfectly roasted with toasted bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Not to mention they were awesome dunked in the tomato artichoke soup. I will definitely be making these again in the future.

mixture...I ended up shredding some extra finely grated parmesan cheese because the thick kind wasn't sticking well...note my wedding rings in the background?? Took them off to mix the egg in!
