This classic Italian appetizer is oven-baked rather than fried, making it a healthier choice. They are a fun way to get an extra serving of veggies too and kids will love them!
Heat the oven to 425°F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Cut the ends off of the zucchini and slice them in quarters lengthwise (so you have 8 long strips), then cut each strip into 3 shorter pieces.
Beat the egg whites in a shallow bowl until they are frothy. In another shallow bowl, combine the panko, cornmeal, cheese, oregano, and basil. Dip each zucchini strip into the egg whites, then into the panko mixture. Place the zucchini strips on the baking sheet, spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray, and bake for 20 minutes, flipping once, until they are browned. Serve with marinara sauce.
