Parmesan Zucchini Fries
-1 large (or 2 medium) zucchinis
-1/3 c. flour
-1/2 c. cholesterol free egg product (like Egg Beaters)
-1 t. garlic powder
-1 t. Italian seasoning
-1 1/2 c. bread crumbs
-2 T. freshly grated parmesan cheese
-non-stick cooking spray
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line large baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Slice zucchini (Peel if you desire. I tried it both ways and preferred leaving the peel on).
3. Dredge zucchini in flour mixture, then dip in egg and coat with bread crumbs. Place in rows on baking sheet.
I didn't understand why I needed a rotary grater until I received one as a gift, but they are wonderful!

Baby Food - Zucchini Puree
I didn't want Peanut to feel left out, so I used some of the zucchini to make her a puree. Simply steam or saute the zucchini, then blend into a puree. It freezes well, but is very thin, so I recommend mixing it with baby cereal or another vegetable. So far, we've only tried it combined with carrots with rice cereal and butternut squash. Other combination ideas (when age-appropriate): green beans, potato, peas, spinach, sweet potatoes, summer squash, pasta, chicken, onion (yes, older babies can have onion! We haven't tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to it!).
