Recipe - Zucchini Oven Fries

4 lg Zucchini
3 tablespoon Olive oil
1 Egg; lightly beaten
1 tablespoon Milk
One half cup Ritz cracker crumbs
One half cup Romano cheese; grated
Salt and pepper; to taste

Trim and peel zucchini and half them lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and cut
squash into french fry sized pieces. Transfer to a bowl. Set oven at 400
degrees. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
Combine milk and egg in small bowl. Pour it over zucchini and toss well.
Mix cracker crumbs, cheese, salt and pepper; put on a plate. Using tongs
lift zucchini, one spear at a time, from the egg mixture. Shake off excess
liquid. Dip each spear into crumb mixture, coating evenly. Transfer to
baking sheet. Sprinkle with any remaining crumbs and drizzle with remaining
1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bake in oven for 5 minutes. With spatula, turn
fries over and continue baking for another 5 minutes, or until crumbs are
brown and zucchini is tender when pierced with a skewer. Transfer to a
plate and seve at once. Recipe by "Food for Thought" Friends of the

Made this 102497; used roasted garlic flavored oil and breaded the sticks
by putting in a bag with crumbs and shaking. Delicious dish and easy to do.
