so the kiddo is pestering me for fried zuchinni... i can't really be annoyed that she's asking for a vegetable I guess. But, would it be possible to make "oven fried" zuchinni instead? If so, how long would I bake it for and what temp

    If you have a George Foreman grill or something like that, that's what I would recommend. But as far as oven baking, depends how thick you slice it... I usually do bell peppers or mushrooms at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

    she's asking for fried... If she wanted it raw, I probably wouldn't be asking. Just sayin...

    I plan to give these eventually (like when it isn't already super hot in my house without turning the oven on!).

    I made these the other night and they were a big hit....

    slice your zuc how you like it. ( i make mine into frinch frie stick)
    dip in egg whites or egg substittue
    then roll in breadcrubs with garlic powder and parmsean cheese ( I used stuffing for crumbs but needed to grind it finer)
    lay on a baking sheet and bake at 425 for 20- 30 minutes.

    I served them up with marinara sauce HUGE HIT!

    I tried this last night and it was YUMMY! I did change the cooking time to 20 minutes per your suggestion and it was just right. Thanks!

    Pepper, garlic or onion powder, maybe some paprika, olive oil, and lemon juice! coat evenly in a bowl, put in the oven. i play it by ear, until it's soft and turning golden. 400-450.

    They are really nice oven roasted in olive oil with a bit of salt. Takes about 30-40 mins.

    I second the motion on the George forman grill. I did baked eggplant instead of frying it and it was aweful.

    I made up my own recipe: Mrs. Dash (Table variety), Garlic powder, Onion powder, Pepper, Salt. ( eyeballed the quantities of each podwer having the bulk of the mixture as Mrs. Dash). Slice Zuchinni (and Summer squash) thick (1/4 inch), rinse, while damp, spray with canola oil coat well in powder mixture. Spray cookie sheet with canola and bake squash for 20 minutes on 400 degees. To make them crisp, at the end I turn the oven to broil on 500 and watch them carefully. They turned out great! Even my veggie-phobic husband ate them!
