Football snack

{The hubby} and I are spending the evening in watching The Fiesta bowl!

In order to please {The hubby} I needed to come up with a tasty BUT HEALTHY snack and this is what I decided on!

Oven-Fried Zucchini Sticks

  • Canola oil cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds zucchini (about 3 medium), cut into 1/2-by-3-inch sticks
  • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten

**I may be adding some spices for more tastiness!!


Directions

Preheat oven to 475°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine flours, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a large sealable plastic bag. Dip zucchini in egg white, shake in the bag to coat, and arrange, not touching, on the baking sheet. Coat all exposed sides with cooking spray. Bake on the center rack for 7 minutes. Turn the zucchini and coat any floury spots with cooking spray. Continue to bake until golden and just tender, about 5 minutes more. Serve hot.

I will let you know how it goes!

Will you be watching any upcoming bowl games with anything healthy on the menu? Let me know!!!
