Baked Zucchini Fries

We had some spaghetti for dinner and I decided to try this recipe as an appetizer.  It is fairly healthy since it is baked and not deep fried.

First preheat oven to 450 degrees. 
Trim the zucchini and cut crosswise in half, then cut each piece into 1/4 inch stick.

Add cheese to coating mix in shaker bag; shake gently to combine.

Whisk 1 egg in a medium bowl.  Add zucchini; toss to coat. 

Use tongs to place 1/4 of the zucchini into shaker bag; Close bag and shake to evenly coat. 

Spread onto baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.  Repeat with remaining Zucchini.  Bake for 12-13 minutes or until golden brown, turning the baking sheet 180 degrees after 7 minutes to bake evenly.  Meanwhile mix remaining zucchini. 

Remove the baked fries and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.

Ingredients:
3 Zucchini (1 pound)
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 packet Shake and Bake Coating Mix
1 small egg



My wife prepped everything and she said it was fairly easy to prepare.  After baking it for the allowed time, the fries seemed a little soft and not crispy.  I'm not sure if it was too long or not long enough but the outside was golden brown.  The shaker mixture was a bit salty and had a slight kick to it.  I was not to happy with this recipe.  I may have to try it another time and do some adjustments. 


Overall I give Baked Zucchini recipe 3 STARS.  If you try this recipe and it comes out ok, please tell me what I did wrong.
