Zucchini Fingers
December 10, 2008 – 12:00 am
Thinking of unique appetizer that is on the healthy-side? Try using zucchini!
If you are calorie conscious, bake the zucchini in a 375 degree oven for 20 mins.
This dish is so versatile that it can be an appetizer or a side dish;
either way, boring zucchini never tasted this good!
Ingredients:
2 medium zucchini
2 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
freshly grated Pecorino Romano
2 tbsp fresh tomato sauce
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat dry. Heat the oil in a heavy pan and cook the zucchini till golden brown. You will need to do this with a very hot pan or broil them in a hot oven so the zucchini don’t become a mush. Drain excess oil over paper towels. Salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on a serving dish, sprinkle with grated pecorino romano and a small dish of fresh tomato sauce for dipping. Enjoy with Fernet Branca and friends.
