Zucchini Fries

I thought Dakota might try zucchini if it was in fry form. So I searched the internet and found this recipe. Dakota wouldn't touch them, but Adam and I like them. The first time I made them we decided there was too much breading and too little zucchini, so now I quarter the zucchini and we like it better.


Zucchini Oven Fries

1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/8 cup cornmeal
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3 medium zucchini (or long yellow squash), sliced into 1/2 inch wide sticks
1 egg white, beaten
olive oil spray
dipping sauce of choice

Preheat oven to 475ºF
Mix flours, cornmeal, and spices in a gallon-sized plastic bag. Set aside.

Line baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper. Spray with olive oil.

Dip zucchini sticks into beaten egg white, then place in bag of flour. Shake to coat, and arrange on baking sheet. Do not allow zucchini strips to touch. Coat top with olive oil spray.

Place baking sheet in the center of the oven. Bake for 7-9 minutes. Flip zucchini strips and continue baking for 5-7 minutes, or until tender and golden brown.
