2largeegg whites, whipped with a whisk until very frothy
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
In a flat dish, mix together the Italian seasoning, flour and salt. Place bread crumbs in another flat dish.
Slice each zucchini in half lengthwise. Then cut each half crosswise. Slice each zucchini chunk into 4 "fries." (You should end up with 32 "fries.")
Coat each piece of zucchini in flour mixture and then dip it into the egg whites and then coat with bread crumbs.
Place coated zucchini on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining zucchini. Liberally coat zucchini fries with cooking spray.
Place in the oven and roast for 8 to 10 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until they're as crispy as you want, 8 to 10 minutes more.
