Oven-Fried Zucchini Sticks

8/16/2005

2 medium-sized zucchini

Canola cooking spray

1 teaspoon minced or chopped garlic

1/3 cup egg substitute

1 tablespoon light mayonnaise

1 cup Italian style bread crumbs

Wash and dry zucchini. Cut in half lengthwise and widthwise. Then cut each of these pieces into 4 sticks. You should have 32 sticks. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously coat cookie sheets or a large nonstick jelly roll pan with canola cooking spray.

Place the garlic, egg substitute, and mayonnaise in a food processor and blend well. Spoon into a shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip zucchini sticks one by one into egg mixture first and then the bread crumb mixture to coat well. Place the coated sticks on the prepared cookie sheets or pan. Spray the tops of the zucchini sticks with canola cooking spray. Bake in the center of the oven for 12 minutes until the outside coating is nice and golden.
