Oven-"Fried" Zucchini Rounds

1/4 cup freshly grated "low fat" Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp dried oregano

2 large egg whites, lightly beaten

2 1/2 cups zucchini slices, cut 1/8 inch thick on the diagonal
(About 2 medium zucchini)

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 deg. Place a wire rack on top of a cookie
sheet and spray with (Olive Oil) cooking spray.

2. In a wide, shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan
cheese, oregano and garlic salt. (or sea salt & pepper whatever you like!)

3. In a separate bowl beat together the egg white and water.

4. Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture; then roll in breadcrumbs.
Place onto the wire rack and repeat until all the zucchini has been coated.

5. Lightly spray with the cooking spray and bake for 8 minutes.

EAT JUST PLAIN, OR HAVE SOME LOW FAT RANCH DRESSING
TO DIP IN!
