Zucchini Oven Fries

These baked zucchini sticks get a light, crisp coating from whipped egg white and seasoned flour. They're a fun way to work through a big batch of summer zucchini.

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

• 5 zucchini
• 1 egg white
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Cooking spray

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 400°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Trim the zucchini, halve them lengthwise and cut into sticks about ¼ inch wide, like french fries.
3. Whip the egg white with an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks. Add the zucchini and toss until evenly coated.
4. Shake the flour, cornstarch, salt and garlic powder together in a paper bag until well mixed.
5. Drop in the zucchini sticks about 5 at a time and shake gently to coat.
6. Spread the sticks on the baking sheet and spray them well on all sides so the flour is moistened.
7. Bake about 30 minutes, turning once, until golden brown.
