The coating is similar to one I've used for poultry forever: panko/chopped garlic/parmesan cheese/pepper/parsley. I usually dip the pieces in a combo of coarse-grain or interesting mustard, EVOO, mayo, egg, or whatever I have around. I'll try yours as well as the sweet onion dip. Question: do they ever get crispy? Zucchini sticks and sweet potato oven fries always seem to be rather limp aside from the coating. Oh, and if I were to sprinkle the crumbs over the prepared zucchini, I'd probably save all the crumbs after baking, freeze them, add stuff as needed, and use to top a casserole. Thanks for the always yummy recipe(s). They should crisp up for you, but there are some things you can do to ensure that they will be more crispy. You can cut the sticks thinner, drain them a little longer to omit as much moisture as possible, and you can bake them a little longer if you'd like. I hope this is helpful. ~Amy
