Method
For the zucchini sticks
In a bowl combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Miix well.
In another bowl, beat egg lightly. Dip the zucchini sticks into egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture. Transfer to a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 220C for about 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned. You may turn the sticks over once halfway through baking time if desired.
For the feta cheese dip
Combine olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper in a food processor. Pulse the mixture until smooth. Add a couple feta cubes at a time, processing between batches until the mixture until thick and smooth. Transfer dip to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
For the tomato dip
Put all the ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse for just a few seconds for chunky tomato dip or a bit longer for a smoother texture.
