Zucchini Sticks

We made these tonight with Salmon in Rum Sauce and grilled asparagus.  It was delicious. And only 375 calories (which left room for a mini blizzard at DQ).

And again the original recipe came from SkinnyTaste www.skinnytaste.com/2009/01/baked-zucchini-sticks-13-pts.html

Zucchini Sticks

5 medium zucchini, sliced in strips
6 Tablespoons Egg substitute (such as egg beaters)
2/3 cup bread crumbs
4 Tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
garlic, salt and pepper to taste

Put egg substitute in a bowl.  Put bread crumbs, seasonings and Parmesan cheese in a zip close bag. Shake well. 
Dip a few zucchini sticks into eggs then into bread crumb mixture and shake well to coat.  Place zucchini on a greased baking pan in a single layer. Spray top with olive oil spray.  Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes until golden brown.  Serve with marinara sauce for dipping

Servings per recipe: 5
Serving size: 1/5 of strips
Calories per serving: 122

(Add another 25 calories for 1/4 cup marinara sauce)

My "anti-squash kids" loved these.
