Yield: 4 servings
Active Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ease of preparation: Easy
Every bit as good as the restaurant-appetizer version with no deep
fryer required.
Canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp cornmeal
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 lb zucchini (about 3 medium), cut into 1/2-by-3-inch sticks
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking
spray.
Combine flours, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a large sealable plastic
bag. Dip zucchini in egg white, shake in the bag to coat, and arrange,
not touching, on the baking sheet. Coat all exposed sides with cooking
spray. Bake on the center rack for 7 minutes. Turn the zucchini and
coat any floury spots with cooking spray. Continue to bake until
golden and just tender, about 5 minutes more. Serve hot.
