This is a nice way to use some of those zucchini that we get in the summertime. Very tasty and pretty healthy too. We sometimes make them for a snack and sometimes as a side dish. It goes nicely with a sandwich for lunch Ingredients:
4 medium zucchini (about 1-1/2 lb) |
1/2 cup bread crumbs |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/4 tsp black pepper |
1/2 tsp cayenne |
4 tsp italian seasoning |
2 egg whites |
ranch dressing, optional |
marinara sauce, optional |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450°.
2. Spray a large baking sheet with olive-oil cooking spray.
3. Cut each zucchini into 3” pieces. Then quarter each piece into sticks. Set aside.
4. Mix the crumbs and next 4 ingredients. Finely grind the Italian seasoning with your fingertips and add to the crumb mix.
5. Stir until thoroughly combined.
6. Whisk egg whites until almost frothy and pour into a shallow dish. Dip each zucchini stick into the egg, then completely coat with the crumb mixture.
7. Place on the baking sheet.
8. Spray with the olive-oil cooking spray.
9. Bake for 9-10 minutes, until crispy.
10. Serve with marinara sauce and/or low-fat ranch dressing for dipping.
