Zucchini Sticks
- 1½ pounds zucchini, about 2 medium-small
- ½ cup King Arthur All-Purpose Flour
- ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
- 4 egg whites
- 2⅓ cup dry panko bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons canola oil or avocado oil
Greek Yogurt Dip
- ¾ cup Cabot Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil or dill
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 small clove garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- PREHEAT oven to 400° F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- CUT zucchini into batons about 3 to 4 inches long by ½-inch square.
- PLACE flour in a pie plate or shallow baking dish, add ¼ teaspoon salt and stir to combine.
- BEAT egg white in a pie plate or shallow baking dish until very foamy.
- MIX bread crumbs with paprika, ½ teaspoon salt and garlic powder in a pie plate or shallow baking dish. Drizzle canola oil over and mix with a fork until completely moistened.
- DIP zucchini sticks in flour. Shake off excess, then dip into egg white and shake of excess. Then dip them into breadcrumb mixture and arrange on baking sheet, so they don’t touch. Discard excess breading. Bake, turning once with a spatula or tongs, until the breadcrumb coating is crispy and golden, 25 to 27 minutes.
