Garden Harvest

Lately we've been eating out of the garden. Not our garden mind you. But plenty of people like to share their bounty- I think sometimes gardens get overwhelming and gardeners don't know what to do with it all, and that folks is what I count on. I was surfing around today and found this recipe on www.twopeasandtheirpod.com . I know zucchini is one thing gardeners always have plenty of, and one thing we are always looking for recipes for...

Baked Zucchini Fries
Ingredients:
3 medium zucchini, sliced into skinny sticks
2 large egg whites, beaten
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (we make our own)
2 T grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp dried basil
Pinch of dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, beat egg whites with a fork until frothy.
Put the breadcrumbs, basil, oregano, garlic powder and cheese on a plate-I used a pie tin. Mix well.
Dip the zucchini sticks in the egg whites and then into the bread crumb mixture, make sure all sides get coated well. Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet. I did the sticks one by one.
Bake at 425° for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and a little crispy. I turned over the fries half way through. Serve warm. We like to dip ours in marinara sauce.

I can't wait to try it! I like anything w/ fries in the name.
