A baked zucchini fry with crushed almonds replacing bread crumbs makes a very light, tasty dish. Zucchini are prepped first to get rid of extra liquid so they do not become soggy in the oven. Like having fried food without the oil.
Ingredients
- 2 zucchini
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cups ground almonds
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons dried Italian herb seasoning , or to taste
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
2
Cut zucchini into 3-inch lengths, then cut each piece into 9 fries. Place zucchini fries into a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let the zucchini pieces drain for at least 1 hour to remove excess liquid.
-
3
Beat eggs in a shallow bowl. Mix almonds, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a second shallow bowl. Rinse salt off zucchini and pat dry with paper towels.
-
4
Dip each zucchini piece into beaten egg and roll in the almond coating. Place coated fries on prepared baking sheet.
-
5
Bake in the preheated oven until the zucchini are tender and the coating is crisp and browned, about 25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking time.

Shrimp Primavera with Goat Cheese
This dish is one of my favorites. If you like goat cheese it will become one of yours as well. I was inspired to make this dish after trying a similar one made with chicken at a local restaurant. Serve with a nice crusty loaf of french bread, a garden salad, and a glass of your favorite red wine!
Spicy Turkey Four-Bean Chili
Four types of beans are combined with red pepper flakes, lots of cumin, chili powder, and salsa in this fiery turkey chili.
Turkey Gravy from Giblets
You don't have to eat the giblets to make a great-tasting gravy! They are used mainly for the flavor of the broth. My mom added a couple of chopped boiled eggs and the chopped giblets to the gravy. This gravy is great with or without them!
