Baked, Not Fried Zucchini Coins

1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup flour shite or wheat
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 zucchini
1 egg
olive oil

Preheat oven to 425F.

Mix flour, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper on a plate.

Beat egg in a small bowl.

Slice zucchini into 1/4' thick coins (you can do sticks, but its easier to brown them more evenly in the over if they are coins because you only have to flip them once). Dip zucchini into egg and then into cornmeal mixture.

Coat a parchment lined cookie sheet with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil (use it generously - if you don't use enough olive oil, the zucchinis won't brown evenly). Arrange zucchini coins on cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes per side, until golden brown.

Serve with bottled blue cheese or ranch dressing. (I served this with ranch dressing and marinara sauce.)
