Baked Parmesan Zucchini Fries

Zucchini is an Amish homemaker's best friend during the summer.  This versatile vegetable can baked into breads, made into jam, sweetened into brownies, and even made into fries.

 Zucchini fries have been catching on in Amish homes as an alternative to the greasy fast-food versions.  Don't these look gorgeously delicious!?  Most of the recipes are similar but this is a twist using Parmesan cheese. Yum!
