Zucchini Oven " Fries"

These are really good and have the added bonus of very little fat! We eat these often during the summer, sometimes in place of oven "fries" made with potatoes. You can add some cayenne pepper for a kick if you want. Give them a try and tell me what you think! EDIT!: Given some reviewers advice, I tried them again. 45 minutes was way too long for us, we just ended up with a crispy shell and no zucchini left. But 30 minutes was very good, keeping the taste of the zucchini, with one turn. The problem with the "flouriness" not cooking away, I've found that if you spray them VERY well with cooking spray it resolves this problem for me. I'm editing the recipe to reflect this.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. 2
    Lightly coat baking sheet with cooking spray.
  3. 3
    Trim zucchini and cut in half lengthwise, then slice into 1/4 inch wide sticks resembling french fries.
  4. 4
    Beat egg white with electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. 5
    Add zucchini sticks, tossing to evenly coat.
  6. 6
    In paper bag, thoroughly shake flour, cornstarch, salt, and garlic powder until combined.
  7. 7
    Drop in the zucchini sticks, 5 or so at a time, and shake gently to coat.
  8. 8
    Place all on baking sheet, spray all sides very well with cooking spray to moisten the flour, and bake about 30 minutes, turning once, or until golden brown.

DH made these tonight and they are fantastic! He didn't use even use an egg (we're out) and he used some seasoning salt instead of garlic salt. Nice change of pace from the usual steamed zucchini. And it smelled great, too!

    I really didn't care for these that much. They were a bit too bland for me. They need some seasoning salt or something to kick them up a bit.

    These are fantastic! I was not sure what the end result was going to be, but was pleasantly surprised! I cooked them until they were a nice golden brown like we like our potato fries. They were crunchy on the outside and firm on the inside. The four year old ate them like fries. The best part is that they are not fried and I was not left wishing I had just fried them instead of baking them. I did not use cornstarch as I was out and I don't think it affected the recipe. Thank you Pot Pie! You are a cooking Diva!

    The thinner ones came out very tastey, so that is the key...make sure you cut them thin enough. The thicker ones were too mushy. Also, mine had a lot flour left on some of them, so make sure you get as much excess flour-mixture off as possible. We also added more garlic powder and some cayenne for extra flavor. I could do with more spices, maybe even a cajun seasoning to go with some fish. I definitely will make this again, and hopefully they will all come out crispy.
