Cut zucchini into sticks about 1 cm in diameter.
Season the egg with salt and pepper.
Mix the breadcrumbs with the parmesan in another bowl.
Put the flour in a third bowl.
Bread the zucchini fries: first roll them in the flour, then in the egg and then in the breading.
Bake the fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
