Faux-fried Veggies
I made these today and--WOW! were they good!!
variety of fresh veggies (I used asparagus, bell pepper, onion, green beans, & squash--I cut the bp into strips and sliced the onion into rings. I cut the squash into discs but left the asparagus and green beans long except for doing a little trimming off the end)
--I used just a few pieces of each veggie.--
Ingredients:
veggies
whole wheat flour
egg whites
Paanko whole wheat bread crumbs (Paanko is lighter than regular bread crumbs and works better) {I couldn't find whole wheat so I used regular Paanko bread crumbs}
salt
Pam
I soaked the fresh veggies in ice water for at least 20 minutes.
I dredged the veggies in the whole wheat flour.
Dipped them in the egg whites
then dredged them in the Paanko bread crumbs.
I placed them on a cookie sheet that had been sprayed with Pam then lightly salted the veggies and sprayed them with Pam.
I baked them @ 425* for 20 minutes.
Ketchup or dressing of choice for dipping.

A few months ago at a movie tavern I had this dish made by deep fry method. I honestly liked the ones I made today in the oven just as well.
Let me know if you try it and how you like it.
