Tastes like fried zucchini and yet it was baked with olive oil spray; I served w lemon, a dash of parm, and marinara sauce.

Canola or olive oil cooking spray
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (<-- I ELIMINATED THIS AND USED WHEAT GERM INSTEAD! CAME OUT TERRIFIC)
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds zucchini, (about 3 medium), cut into 1/2-by-3-inch sticks
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten

PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 475°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Combine flours, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a large sealable plastic bag. Dip zucchini in egg white, shake in the bag to coat, and arrange, not touching, on the baking sheet. Coat all exposed sides with cooking spray.
Bake on the center rack for 10 minutes. Turn the zucchini and coat any floury spots with cooking spray. Continue to bake until golden and just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes more. Serve hot.
