Baked Zucchini (Courgette) Sticks

Total time: 40 minutes
    These are quickly prepared; bake, unattended and end with a nice crunch.  Easy peasy! And one can't have too many zucchini recipes in summer!

 Ingredients:

• 1 medium zucchini, (courgette) green or yellow, about 8 inches (20cm)
• 1 tsp Dijon-style mustard
• 1 egg
• 2 tbs dry bread crumbs
• 2 tbs grated Parmesan cheese

  Instructions:

• Wash zucchini and slice off stem and blossom ends. 
• Cut it in half or thirds the short way.  You want pieces 2 - 3" long (5 - 8cm). 
• Cut each section into sticks about 5/8" (1cm) square.  They won't all be perfect, coming from a round vegetable, but close is good. 
• In a flattish bowl whisk the mustard and the egg together. 
• In another flattish bowl or plate mix the crumbs and cheese together.
• Roll the zucchini sticks in the egg, then the crumbs. 
• Place on a nonstick baking sheet. 
• Bake at 400F (200C) for 35 minutes, until coating starts to brown.
• Remove and serve.
