WW courgette fries

By -
Ingredients
  • olive oil cooking spray - 4 spray(s)
  • Italian seasoning - 1 tsp
  • all-purpose flour - 1 ½ Tbsp
  • table salt - ¾ tsp
  • dried plain breadcrumbs - ¾ cup(s), panko-variety suggested
  • uncooked courgettes - 2 medium
  • egg white(s) - 2 large, whipped until frothy (almost soft peaks)

Instructions
  • 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.
  • Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise and then each half into 2 pieces widthwise. Next slice each zucchini chunk into 4 fries. 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.
