Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin 0live oil

1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs

1/3 cup grated imported Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crumbled

2 to 3 dashed cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 large egg

4 small green or golden zucchini squash

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a heavy baking sheet with the oil and set aside.

In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, cayenne, salt and pepper, and mix well. In a second shallow dish, lightly beat the egg.

Trim the ends of the squash. Cut each squash in half lengthwise. Lay the halves flat and cut in half lengthwise again. Then cut the strips in half crosswise. Dredge each piece first in the egg and then in the Parmesan mixture, coating evenly. Arrange well spaced in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, then turn the squash over and bake 5 to 7 minutes longer, or until crisp and lightly browned. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tried this tonight and really liked it. I did not have rosemary, though, so substituted basil. I think any savoury spice of choice could be substituted successfully. Anyway... 5 from someone who tried it...and by the way, it went together quickly.
