Ingredients:

2 medium eggplants (cut into 1 inch slices, then cut each slice into 1 inch sticks)

1 large, two medium or three small zucchinis (cut into 1 inch thick sticks)

3 eggs

1 cup almond flour

1 cup corn meal or bread crumbs

1 cup grated parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast

2 tsp salt

spices of your choice (I like 1 tsp each oregano or italian seasoning mix, paprika, garlic powder and black pepper)

olive oil

Instructions:

In a small bowl, blend the first five dry ingredients (including the spices)

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a fork

then add the eggplant and zucchini sticks and mix with the egg.

Sprinkle with the dry mixture until well coated

Place on a tray lined with parchment paper, drizzle with olive oil and bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.

Don’t even take out the sauce if you want kids to love them as is… or dip in a marinara or barbecue sauce as a special treat.
