Black Pepper - 1/2 tsp

Oregano - 1 tsp

Preparatory Steps:

Mix Bread Crumbs, Parmesan Cheese and Oregano in a medium bowl.

Transfer bread crumb mix to a ziplock.
Dip Zucchini sticks in egg mixture and coat them well.
Transfer zucchini stick to zip lock and shake it well until zucchini sticks are fully coated with bread crumb mixture.
