Ingredients
[wp_ad_camp_3]
| 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) |
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, flour and salt. Place bread crumbs in another small bowl.
- Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and then each half into 2 pieces widthwise. Next slice each zucchini chunk into 4 fries. Dredge a zucchini fry in flour mixture and then dip into egg whites; dredge in bread crumbs. Place coated zucchini on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining ingredients; liberally coat with cooking spray.
- Roast, turning once, until desired crispness, about 12 minutes. Yields about 8 fries per serving.
Notes
- Use this technique with any summer squash or eggplant. It also works great with thick-cut onion rings or even green tomatoes.For extra crispy fries, increase the oven temperature to 500ºF and knock 2 minutes off the cooking time.
