    I found this great recipe for Parmesan Zucchini Strips

    1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
    4 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise
    1 egg, beaten (or egg substitute)

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

    In a large Ziploc bag, combine bread crumbs & cheese topping.

    Dip zucchini strips into egg, then into crumb mixture in Ziploc bag. Shake bag until the zucchini is well-coated.

    Place on baking sheet coated with nonstick cooking spray.

    Bake at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown & tender.

    Serving Size: 1
    Servings per recipe: 4

    I usually don't like zucchni other than in breads or cakes, but this is delicious! Even my three-year old grandson eats this without complaining.

    I like making pasta out of zucchini! you can use a spiral slicer to make angel hair out of it, or a veggie peeler to make thicker noodles. I LOVE zucchini. its my favorite!
    do you happen to know where i can get one of those spiral slicers in stores?

    mine came from my roommate. I think she bought it online. but you could try bed bath beyond.. they have tons of kitchen gadget. I remember the box it came in had chinese characters.. so maybe an asian store?

    I got mine from Amazon.

    With skin and bisquick is like a baking powder usually used for pancakes.

    I grate it and freeze it, then add a little to practically any recipe for an extra veggie boost, especially for the kids

    1) Like another person who posted, I use it instead of pasta (I'm gluten-free). - Sliced alternating with a tiny bit of cheese, lowfat cottage cheese, healthy homemade red sauce to make lasagna...I don't have a spiral slicer so I just chop or grate it to use as a replacement for elbows or spaghetti

    2) Add some to spaghetti sauce

    3) Add a layer in a shepherd's pie

    4) Add a little to the kids cupcakes, muffins, or cookies.

    Forgot to mention, for a once in a while treat, I slide it, soak it in slightly salted water, then drain. I beat an egg. Then add spices to a little bit of instant mashed potatoes. Dredge the slices in egg then coat with instant mashed potatoes. Use nonstick spray on a pan and "fry" into a healthy version of the fried zucchini appetizers they serve in restaurants. Make a dip with NF sour cream or greek yogurt or LF cottage cheese mixed with a little red pepper flakes and/or garlic powder.

    Most of the time, I try to just eat whole food and enjoy it the way it is, but having a few treats like this in my repertoire saves me when I'm feeling deprived.
