Like Fries but hate the fat. Try these.

• 2 zucchini, each cut into 16 wedges

• 3 large egg whites

• 1/2 t salt

1. Preheat oven to 500° F.
2. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and frothy.
3. Add the zucchini wedges and toss to coat.
4. Let sit for 5 minutes.
5. Arrange zucchini, cut side down, on a baking sheet covered in foil and sprayed with Watkins Cooking Spray (item #01040).
6. Bake the wedges, turning once, for about 15 minutes.
7. Let stand for about a minute before serving.

Enjoy!

It’s been a hectic few weeks and I apologize for not posting but we’re preparing to move and I’ve just not had time to post. Spring has finally arrived and everything is turning green.
