Tasty Tuesday: Zucchini Fries

Nick and I attempted to make some healthy appetizers for the Superbowl. Whether we succeeded or not, our guts will only know. =)

We made a skinny spinach and artichoke dip, zucchini fries and Caprese appetizer. Below are the ingredients and directions for the Zucchini Fries.

 Zucchini Fries

	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
	2 medium uncooked zucchini
	2 large egg white(s), whipped until frothy (almost soft peaks)

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 width-wise. 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.
