Ingredients
- 1 zucchini medium
- ⅔ cup whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose
- 1 egg large
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs whole wheat
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- olive oil spray
The sauce::
- ½ cup Greek yogurt nonfat plain
- 3 tablespoons basil pesto
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
The Fries:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil and set a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet. Coat the cooling rack with cooking spray.
- Cut the zucchini into 3-inch long and ¼-inch thick pieces.
- Spoon the flour into a medium bowl. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, paprika, salt and pepper.
- Working with several zucchini pieces at a time, dredge the zucchini in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip the zucchini in the egg, then place it in the bread crumb mixture, covering completely.
- Transfer the coated zucchini pieces to the prepared rack, in a single layer. Repeat with remaining zucchini pieces.
- Light coat the zucchini with the cooking spray.
- Bake in the oven until the zucchini is tender and the breading is browned and crisp, about 15 minutes.
- Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
The Sauce:
- In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, pesto sand salt.
