Zucchini "fries":

1 tbsp Oat Fiber
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, Original
1 Medium zucchini
1 large Egg White
2 sprays Olive Oil No Stick Cooking Spray

Directions

Additional: salt and pepper
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and give a very quick spray of olive oil cooking spray.
In a baggie mix parmesan, oat fiber, salt(not much) and pepper. Remove 1/2 the dry mix and set aside.
Slice zucchini into desired "fry" size.
Beat egg white with 1tsp water then toss the zucchini to coat. Shake off excess and then toss 1/2 of the zucchini with the dry mix in the baggie, lay out on baking sheet and add the remaining dry mix and zucchini to the baggie, shake to coat and place on the baking sheet.
Spritz the top with cooking spray and bake at 400f for 20 minutes or until nicely browned.
(I did not flip these, they browned on the parchment just fine).
