"Fried" Zucchini

One of my favorite foods is fried zucchini. My mom made it when I was little and I loved it then too. I can't resist buying it at a fair and trying their version.
I decided I'd try a low carb version and it is my favorite kind yet!
Slice your zucchini lengthwise and core out the middle. Then cut into fry like slices, about 1 inch thick.
Beat 2 eggs.
In a separate bowl, combine:
1/2 cup Parmesan (powder kind)
1/2 cup almond flour/meal
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning.

Coat the zucchini in eggs, then the crumb mixture.

Place on a baking sheet, lined with foil and coated with oil. (I use coconut oil)
Spray tops of zucchini with olive oil.

Bake in a convection oven (helps get them crisp) for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.

Serve with Ranch dressing.
