Oven Fried Squash Spears Recipes

GARLIC ROASTED SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Trim the ends from the squash, and cut each squash in half lengthwise. Cut the halves in half again crosswise, to make 4 pieces; cut those pieces in half twice more the long way, to make 16 short spears from each squash. Toss the squash with olive oil and garlic in a bowl; place into a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Roast the squash until the spears and garlic start to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Check the squash after 5 minutes, and add time in 2- to 3-minute intervals to avoid burning.

BAKED PARMESAN BREADED SQUASH

• Preheat oven to 450°. Place squash in a large bowl. Add oil and seasonings; toss to coat., In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and cheese. Dip squash in crumb mixture to coat both sides, patting to help coating adhere. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, rotating pans halfway through baking.

OVEN-FRIED SQUASH SPEARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Coat a large, nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Whisk egg whites and milk together in a small bowl until well blended. Place bread in a blender or food processor and process until coarse bread crumbs are achieved. Combine bread crumbs, paprika, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne in a shallow pan (such as a pie plate).
• Cut zucchini and squash lengthwise into 8 spears. Place spears in the egg mixture; toss gently, yet thoroughly, until well coated. Working with a few spears at a time, coat with bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly with fingertips to allow bread crumbs to adhere. Arrange spears in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Flip over and bake until lightly golden and tender when pierced with a fork, about 3 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, prepare sauce by whisking together sour cream, garlic, and hot sauce.
• Sprinkle squash spears with salt and serve with lemon wedges and sauce.
