Ingredients

    4 sprays olive oil cooking spray
    1 tsp Italian seasoning
    1.5 TB all-purpose flour
    .75 tsp salt
    .75 c dried bread crumbs, panko variety suggested
    2 medium zucchini, cut into 4 chunks, then each chunk halved
    2 large egg whites, whipped until frothy

Directions

• 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.
• 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.

Notes
• Use this technique with any summer squash or eggplant. It also works great with thick-cut onion rings or even green tomatoes.

For extra crispy fries, increase the oven temperature to 500ºF and knock 2 minutes off the cooking time.
