Baked zucchini "fries" for dinner last night...tasty!
It's zucchini season, and we're all delighted with a new way to prepare this lovely vegetable (especially if you find yourself inundated with 'em!)
We discovered this recipe last year at this time, and we loved it! (Okay, what's not to like? Fried crispiness!)
Ingredients
Fresh zucchini*
1 egg, beaten
1/3 c. cassava or coconut flour**
1/3 C. arrowroot flour***
salt
pepper
herbs to taste--I ofte use garlic and Italian mix, but it would be good with curry or Mexican spices, too
How-to
Mix flours, salt, pepper, and herbs or spices. Cut Zucchini in spears. Dip in egg wash then roll in flour mixture.
Heat oven to 410 degrees, oil the cookie sheet generously and put fries on it in a single layer, bake for 15 minutes, turn, bake for another 15, and that's that!
Bet you won't have leftovers...
*Note...this would be fine with yellow summer squash as well. Or with carrots, or...
** Note #2...Cassava flour is more like normal wheat flour to work with. Coconut flour is odd stuff, and sometimes soaks up too much liquid.
This is a gluten free recipe...if you don't have a problem, wheat flour is acceptable
