Zucchini Fries - 2 Pts. Ww

"If you like crispy, battered zucchini, this is the lowfat alternative for you!! I could not believe it, but they came out crispy!! The egg whites are the secret. The recipe below is straight off the WW website. The flour definitely needs MORE seasoning though - garlic? Cayenne? Salt after they're out of the oven? I will be perfecting this for our family's tastes, but these zukes are going into our regular rotation!! Like I said, if you are looking for a lowfat batter alternative that's is NOT like the "corn flake baked" variety....this is for you!"

  1. Great zucchini sticks! The cook time/temp was just right and mine came out nice and crunchy. The only thing I will do differently next time is cut my sticks a little smaller. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
     
  2. Who needs fatty french fries when you have these? Fantastic. Makes me feel like I'm cheating on my healthy eating when I'm not. I used a side of Walden Farms calorie free Bacon Ranch salad dressing as a dip!
     
  3. Great crunch!. I added more Italian seasoning because i didn't want bland as someone said. I cut my zuchinni into smaller pieces and therefore needed much more of the flour seasoning mix. Due to the lengthy preparation time I won't be making these again.
     
  4. Wonderful recipe. I followed the advise and cut my sticks smaller and they were great. I also added some more seasonings to the flour because it's a little bland. I was out of eggs, so used meringue powder instead - worked great.
     
  5. These taste pretty darn good! I especially loved the use of panko for the coating. It was nice, light and still crunchy. Thank you for a healthier zucchini fry recipe. Yummy! ~Made for Spring 2011 Pick A Chef~

  1. I had to use seasoned bread crumbs in place of panko, therefore omiting the italian seasoning. That being said, these were wonderful. I've never had panko before, so i don't know what i'm missing but i didn't feel like these were lacking in any way. Even my youngest who would never eat zucchini gobbled this up. We did salt them after baking and dipped in ketchup. Thanks for a great recipe!
