These have been a long time family favorite, use only dry breadcrumbs for this as fresh will not stick to the zucchini, the cayenne is only optional add in for some heat - if desired you may slice the zucchini into rounds instead if sticks- also see my Kittencal's Italian Zucchini-Mozzarella Patties
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1. In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs with water.
2. In another shallow dish combine dry bread crumbs, flour, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, dried parsley, seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper (if using).
