Oven-Fried Vegetables

Mock french-fried vegetables without the fat. I have fixed these with onions and yellow squash. It is delicious.

Nonstick spray coating
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp. paprika
2 cups 1/4-inch-thick zucchini slices, onion rings, or cauliflower flowerets
2 Tbsp. reduced-calorie Italian salad dressing
Spray a cold baking sheet with nonstick spray coating. Set aside.
On 9-inch pie plate stir together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and paprika till well mixed. In a medium mixing bowl place zucchini, onion rings, or cauliflower. Drizzle vegetables with salad dressing; toss till coated.
Then, roll vegetables in crumb mixture till coated. Place the coated vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake vegetables in a 450 degree oven for 9 to 11 minutes or till golden. Makes 4 (1/2 cup) servings. Calories: 51 per serving
