Baked Zucchini Sticks

I wasn't really impressed with the sticks. I've seen them a few times online and always wanted to try them out. I thought they would be crispy, kinda like fries. But they were rather soft.
The panko didn't stick all that well to the sticks. And after a while the eggs made the panko mix rather lumpy.

On the plus side, they went well with the Greek Style Zucchini Salad.
