Zucchini Fries

By newbaucher

I often make these fries for my husband and myself—especially when our garden is full of zucchini. The cornmeal coating gives them a nice crunch.—Sarah Gottschalk, Richmond, Indiana

Ingredients

• 2 small zucchini
• 1 egg white
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons cornmeal
• 1/2 teaspoon each salt, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika and pepper
• Cooking spray
• Marinara or spaghetti sauce, warmed

Preparation

Step 1

Cut zucchini into 3-in. x 1/2-in. x 1/2-in. pieces. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg white. In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal and seasonings. Dip zucchini in egg white, then roll in flour mixture.
Place zucchini on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; spray with additional cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Serve with marinara sauce. Yield: 2 servings.
