Kick off game day the right way with this delicious recipe. Spend your Super Bowl eating tasty treats that won’t give you a grease-induced tummy ache. Baked zucchini fries have a satisfying bite without the added oil from frying.
Pair these with crispy roasted garbanzo beans that pack a perfect crunch for game-day snacking.
Remember this quick tip about these baked babies: To ensure that your seasoning adheres to both the zucchinis and garbanzos, always remember to pat them dry before tossing with spices.
If your garbanzos are still moist from rinsing, they’ll become mushy and chewy instead of crisping up in the oven.
You can add a little color to your fries by baking a combination of yellow squash and carrot sticks as well.
These fresh fries go great with hummus or are scrumptious all on their own. Both recipes bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit so you can knock them out on two racks at the same time.
Zucchini fries
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice zucchinis into short sticks and pat dry with a paper towel. Combine breadcrumbs with parmesan, cayenne, cumin, paprika, kosher salt, oregano and parsley in a medium bowl and toss together.
Crispy garbanzos ingredients
1 (15-oz) can garbanzo beans, rinsed, drained and patted dry
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Prepare a second small bowl with egg whites and milk lightly whisked together. Drop zucchini sticks in egg mixture, tap off excess and dredge in seasoned breadcrumbs, then place on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until crispy and golden brown, turning over with tongs about halfway for even coverage. Let cool 5 minutes and enjoy immediately!
Crispy garbanzos
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drain and rinse canned beans, lay on paper towels and pat dry. Combine salt, cumin, garlic powder, chili powder and paprika in a bowl.
Toss garbanzos with olive oil in a bowl, then sprinkle seasoning mixture over beans and toss again until well coated. Pour seasoned garbanzos on an ungreased baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake at 400 for approximately 30 minutes until crispy, shaking or stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Serve and enjoy!
