Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and spray a large cookie sheet with nonstick spray.

2. In a wide, shallow dish, combine panko through cayenne pepper. Set aside.

3. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg whites and set aside.

4. Working with one “fry” at a time, dip in the egg whites, then, breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange “fries” on the prepared cookie sheet in a single layer. Discard remaining breadcrumb and egg whites.

5. Bake until the coating is lightly browned and crisp, for about 20 minutes, flipping half way through. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
