Zucchini Fries

Adapted from recipe submitted to AllRecipes.com

Chef’s Notes: Be sure to cut your zucchini pretty then, so that your kids can cover up the zucchini-ness with ketchup. I thought these were ok, but I’m an adult, and even I needed a little ketchup. But, still can’t beat finding a new way to get in those veggies!

Plan of Attack:

1. Prep zucchini

2. Coat

3. Bake

Ingredients for 4:

2 medium zucchinis cut into wedges

2/3 C panko breadcrumbs

2. In a shallow bowl stir together breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese
3. In another small bowl lightly beat 2 egg whites
4. Dip zucchini into the egg whites, and then dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat until all are coated
5. Place on a pizza stone or sprayed cookie sheet
6. Bake for 5 minutes, turn fries, and then cook an additional 10 minutes
7. Enjoy!
