I have tried making baked zucchini fries before using regular Italian breadcrumbs, and they never turned out very good - limp and less - than - crispy. The secret is in the panko! The panko crumbs are larger in size and don't get sogged down by the moisture in the zucchini. This method would work well for other vegetables also.

Best zucchini recipe EVER! The breading stayed light and crunchy, didn't get soggy one bit - and the flavor is fantastic. My family will be eating a lot more zucchini because of this tasty recipe. The baking brings a tenderness and sweetness to the veggie that you just don't get any other way. This recipe pairs perfectly with an easy lime aioli for dipping.

These were pretty legit. Too legit to quit? Well... maybe. They're a great recipe for snacking without having to worry too much about the nutritional value of your snack. That's always a great thing.
