Ingredients
4 sprays cooking spray
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp table salt
⅛ tsp black pepper
3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
4 medium uncooked zucchini, ends trimmed, cut into twelve 1-inch sticks each
6 tbsp fat-free mayonnaise
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and pepper; mix well with a fork to combine. Place egg whites and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Add zucchini to flour mixture; turn to coat. Next, add zucchini to egg whites; turn to coat. Last, add zucchini to breadcrumbs and turn to coat.
Place coated zucchini on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer and coat with cooking spray; bake until golden brown, flipping once or twice, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, and mustard; serve with zucchini sticks.
Yields about 6 sticks and 1 tablespoon dip per serving.
