Recipe: Baked Zucchini "Fries"

Who says dessert has to be chocolate?

I found these beautiful zucchini fries on a Tumblr blog called Damn Delicious & knew right away that I was going to need to try them. They were so simple to make. You just slice zucchini, dip it in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, and then bake for a few minutes.

I did however have a serious problem with the egg getting the breadcrumbs too mushy to stick to anything, which is why mine look more naked than the originals. Never fear though, as they were just as delicious only lightly breaded.
