Description

These zucchini fries are little pieces of heaven! Each piece is dredged in spelt flour, ground pecans and a touch of cornmeal, then baked to perfection in olive oil. The most delicious zucchini you’ll ever eat!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ pound Zucchini, Each About 6-7 Inches Long And 1-1 1/2 Inches In Diameter
  • ½ cups White Spelt Flour
  • ½ cups Pecans, Once Measured, Then Ground
  • ⅛ cups Cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 whole Egg Whites, Lightly Beaten
  • Olive Oil For Greasing Pan And Drizzling Over Zucchini

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Drizzle some olive oil – about a teaspoon, but no need to measure – on the parchment and spread it out evenly with your fingers, coating the whole surface.

Mix flour, ground pecans, cornmeal and salt in a plastic bag, set aside.

Wash and dry your zucchini, and trim the ends. Cut each zucchini in half, making two cylinders. Cut each half into 8 fries, making sure you have a skin edge on each one.

Toss all of the zucchini pieces in egg white, then put about half of them in the plastic bag with the dry mix and shake until they are well-coated. Remove the pieces one by one and place them on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces.

Once all the pieces are arranged on the sheets, drizzle with olive oil – you don’t want to drench them, but you want to make sure each piece gets a little oil. Bake for 20 minutes, rotate racks, and flip each piece over. Bake another 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and golden.

Served as a Superbowl party appetizer, representative of Pittsburgh food. Good, but I think I prefer my zucchini cut in rounds instead of spears.
