Recipe

Zucchini Fries

Heat your oven to 400 degrees
Grab a zucchini and cut as many as you'll need, quarter inch thick and a couple inches long slices

In a bowl/ziploc bag:
1 egg white
1 tsp butter substitue (I like the Land of Lakes "Fresh Buttery Taste Spread" it has no cholesterol and 70% less fat...tastes just as good I think)...you could splurge with a teaspoon of real butter you don't eat
it all the time so a little every now and then is fine, make sure to whisk the butter and egg white so they combine

A handful of Italian Bread Crumbs
A handful of ground Flax meal (you can find this in any grocery store)
Grate some cheese any kind you like (Kraft makes fat-free cheddar or I like parmesan)
A little pepper (red pepper flakes if you wanna spice it up :))

Put the liquids, dry mix and zucchini in the bag give it a good shake, then on to the baking sheet and into the oven for about 25 minutes or so.  Make sure half way through you turn the zucchini over...the sides will become golden brown and crunchy

There you have it a good substitute for fries and a perfect side for your summer grills...

Try other veggies: squashes, asparagus, sweet potatoes...
