- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper

- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Mix coating: Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
- Prepare zucchini: Cut off the ends of the zucchini. Cut the zucchini in half and then cut into 1/2-inch wide strips or wedges.
