Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
In a bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, thyme, basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste.
Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then slice into 4" x 1/2"-inch sticks.
Dip the zucchini sticks into the egg and then into the bread crumb mixture. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until softened. Place under broiler for 5 minutes, or until slightly browned. Serve with Ranch dressing, if desired.
