Pepper to taste

1 tsp Oregano (optional)

Preheat oven to 375. Whisk egg in bowl and add milk. In a separate bowl mix almond meal/flour, coconut flour, cheese, salt, pepper, and oregano (optional). Cut zucchini into 3″ long strips and about 1/2″ thick. Dip zucchini sticks into the egg/milk mixture and let the excess liquid drain back into the bowl. Then dip it into the dry mixture, coating the entire stick. Place on a cookie sheet greased with coconut oil (or a non-stick cookie sheet) 1/4″ apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Serve with honey mustard dipping sauce or plain marinara sauce. Enjoy!
