[Guest guest]

Nanette Blanchard's book - tis the season - has 15 vegetarian menus. It's a

celebration book -- not just for the Winter holiday season. The print makes it

hard to read without lots of bright light (ott-lite). The recipes and party info

are worth the effort. reduced fat. some recipes are vegan.

 

here's a link -- it's also at amazon etc.

Oven Fried Zucchini Spears

 

Recipe By :A Lively Tree Trimming Appetizer Party

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Appetizers

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 medium zucchini

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

3 cloves garlic -- crushed

1/2 cup unbleached flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

 

MAKES 36 SPEARS; SERVES 6. This is a great appetizer to serve with ranch or

Thousand Island dressing, whether fresh or bottled. Bread the zucchini in

advance, then cover and chill for several hours. Bake the wedges so they're

ready when your party guests are assembled around the table. When making this

(or any breaded vegetables) be sure to use the " one hand " method. Use one hand

to dip the zucchini into the wet ingredients and the other hand to dredge with

flour.

 

1. Preheat the oven to 425F. Cut each zucchini in half, then each half

lengthwise into 6 pieces or spears.

 

2. Beat the eggs with the milk and add the garlic.

 

3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, chili powder, onion powder, and

Parmesan cheese. Dredge the spears in the flour mixture, then coat with the egg

mixture, then coat with the flour mixture again.

 

4. Place the spears on a greased cookie sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or

until golden brown. Serve hot.
