Don't cut them too thin, or they simply shrivel up.  You might also want to take a spoon and scoop out the seeds and inner membranes.  The firm flesh fries seem to work better.
3                large zucchini (about 1 1/2 pounds)           
1                 cup           dry breadcrumbs           
1/2                 cup           panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)           
1/4                 cup           (1 ounce) grated fresh Parmesan cheese           
1/2                 teaspoon           salt           
1/2                 teaspoon           freshly ground black pepper           
1/2                 cup           egg substitute(  or 2 eggs)
