zucchini fries

[Linda Pattison]

You know you will be drowning in zucchini soon, so here's a lovely way to enjoy them some cool evening-

1 large zucchini, peeled
1 tbs olive oil
3/4 cup plain bread crumbs (gluten free if you prefer)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp kosher salt

DIRECTIONS:
1. Line a baking sheet with foil (you can spray it lightly with cooking spray) and preheat your oven to 425 deg F. Peel your zucchini, cut off the ends and cut it into “fries”. Toss with the olive oil, making sure that every piece is well coated.

2. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and salt. Cover the olive oil coated zucchini pieces with the bread crumb mixture (shake off excess breadcrumbs), then place them on your baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until the zucchini looks crispy and golden, and is soft when pricked with a fork. Serve warm!

Mmmm, sound yummy, I might try those this week.

I love the Greek style too, thin and crispy and we sometimes have them for lunch time with other meze type stuff.

Today I halved small courgettes and seasoned with salt, pepper and mild chilli powder and fried in a little olive oil. Tasty, sweet and juicy.
