Healthy Snacking Zucchini Italian Fries

2 medium size zucchini
1 egg white
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
*optional - if you don't have seasoned breadcrumbs, use plain and add dried oregano or other Italian seasonings to the breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray non-stick cooking spray on a baking sheet or cookie sheet.
Wash and dry the zucchini, then cut into thin French-fry size and shape  sticks.
Put egg white in a bowl, whisk until frothy, then add milk and whisk together until combined.
In a separate shallow bowl, put the Parmesan and seasoned breadcrumbs and mix together.
Put a few zucchini 'French fries' into the egg/milk mixture to coat, then remove and put in breadcrumb/Parmesan mixture, coating well.
Place on prepared baking sheet, and continue until all zucchini fries are prepared.
Bake in preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until nicely browned; turn once during the cooking time.
Remove to a cooling rack and enjoy with any dip you like.
Will make 2 light snacks.
