Zucchini fries
Recipe by Spring Troutman
4 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour
3/4 tsp table salt
3/4 cup(s) dried plain breadcrumbs, panko-variety suggested
2 medium uncooked zucchini
2 large egg white(s), whipped until frothy (almost soft peaks)
1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, flour and salt. Place bread crumbs in another small bowl.
3. Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and then each half into 2 pieces width wise.
4. Next slice each zucchini chunk into 4 fries.
5. Dredge a zucchini fry in flour mixture and then dip into egg whites; dredge in bread crumbs.
6. Place coated zucchini on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining ingredients; liberally coat with cooking spray.
7. Roast, turning once, until desired crispness, about 12 minutes.
8. Yields about 8 fries per serving.
9. Use this technique with any summer squash or eggplant. It also works great with thick-cut onion rings or even green tomatoes.
10. For extra crispy fries, increase the oven temperature to 500ºF and knock 2 minutes off the cooking time.
