Ingredients

Scale

12 ounces spiralized zucchini noodles
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
Fresh herbs (parsley and basil)
Garlic powder
Coarse salt and black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Set up dredging stations: combine flour with salt and pepper in one bowl, beat eggs in another, and mix panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan, lemon zest, herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third.
Dredge the zucchini noodles first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat with the panko mixture.
Arrange the coated zoodles on the baking sheets in a single layer. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with additional lemon zest and parsley before serving.
