Notes
To make these vegan, skip the egg and use a dairy-free milk and flour combination instead. Combine 1/2 cup of almond milk with 1/4 tablespoons of flour. Whisk together until it forms a paste. Dip each zucchini in the flour mixture and let any excess runoff. Roll each zucchini piece in the breadcrumbs, and place on the baking sheet.
