Description

Ingredients

• 14 oz. (about 2 medium) zucchini, ends removed
• 1/4 cup egg whites (about 2 large eggs' worth)
• 1/2 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
• 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 3/4 tsp. onion powder
• 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper
• Optional seasonings: additional salt and black pepper
• 1 large (about 14 oz.) onion
• 1/4 cup egg whites (about 2 large eggs' worth)
• 2/3 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. black pepper
• 2 tbsp. whole-wheat flour

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray. Cut zucchini into French-fry shaped spears. Place zucchini spears in a large bowl. Top with egg whites, and flip to coat. In a medium-large bowl, mix breadcrumbs with seasonings. One at a time, shake zucchini spears to remove excess egg, and lightly coat with breadcrumb mixture. Evenly place on the baking sheet, and top with any remaining breadcrumbs. Bake for 10 minutes. Carefully flip zucchini spears. Bake until lightly browned and crispy, about 10 more minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray. Slice off onion ends and remove outer layer. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide slices, and separate into rings. Place egg whites in a wide bowl. Whisk well. In a medium-large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and seasonings. Add onion rings to a large sealable plastic bag. Sprinkle with flour. Seal bag and shake to mix. Coat rings with the egg whites by dipping them into the bowl, two at a time. Shake rings to remove excess egg. Lightly coat with breadcrumb mixture. Evenly place on the baking sheets, and top with any remaining breadcrumbs. Bake for 6 minutes, with one baking sheet on the top rack and one on the bottom. Carefully remove baking sheets, and return them to the oven on the opposite racks. Bake until golden brown, about 6 more minutes.
