Zucchini Fries

Game Day Treats

This week I am going to be sharing easy healthier versions of game day treats. With a sports obsessed husband we are always having his buds over to watch some sort of a game. These are simple treats that take no time so you can be cheering on your team and not stuck in the kitchen. Most importantly they are all men approved! 

Zucchini Fries 

4- Zucchini

1/2 cup- Plain Greek Yogurt

2-3 cups- Panko Bread Crumbs

1- Large zip Lock Baggie

Seasoning Salt & Pepper

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

Zucchini Prep-

Rinse zucchini off. Cut the ends of the zucchini. Then proceed to cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Cut the halves lengthwise again. Then cut all pieces in half again. Once you have 8 long pieces cut them in half the opposite direction so you have 16 shorter pieces. Repeat on the remaining three zucchini. 

Place all zucchini in the large plastic bag and lightly season with seasoning salt and pepper. Add the Greek yogurt and seal the bag. Mix all the ingredients so each zucchini piece is equally covered.

In a medium sized bowl add Panko bread crumbs and generously season with the seasoning salt and pepper. With tongs remove some of the zucchini and place in the bowl. Make sure each piece is completely covered with bread crumb. Place on a cookie sheet that has a cooling rack placed inside of it (if you don't have a cooling rack just line cookie sheet with tin foil and spray with cooking oil). Repeat until all zucchini are covered in Panko and ready to put in the oven.

Place in the oven and let cook until they start to develop a golden brown color. Approximately 20 minutes. If you don't have a cooling rack pulling them out at 10 minutes and flipping them is suggested.

Best served with Light Ranch Dressing...but Jake is a ketchup man. So whatever floats your boat!

Heads up ---Jake will be posting a smoked rib recipe this week..Stay tuned!!!

Love,

LEX & JAKE
