Dip the zucchini sticks in the egg whites and then into the breadcrumbs – make sure all sides are well coated.

Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheets.  Bake at 425° for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Turn sticks over halfway through baking time.

Review:  We first tried making these by frying them in oil but it was a mess and the fries weren’t nearly as crispy.  Using the oven is much more efficient and makes much more tasty.  I’m not much of a vegi lover but these really were delicious!

Review:
The vegetables were a little undercooked so it may be a good idea to boil or steam the vegetables prior to adding them to the stir fry.  I thought the food was still delicious, though!
