This closely resembles a snack recipe from my childhood. Garlic parmesan breadsticks. Would love to use this instead. Do they get crispy,toasty? If not do you have a suggestion for how to make them crispy?

That’s a great idea. I would slice the zucchini/courgette really thin (omitting the tomatoes) and coat them on both sides with the parmesan/almond mixture. Place these on a baking tray and bake at 180C/350F for a few minutes each side until golden brown. Let me know how you get on.
