Jorge Cruise - Zucchini Cheese Fries! A Little Bit of Heaven!

Wow, I just made a recipe from Jorge Cruise's "The Belly fat Cure - Fast Track" called "Zucchini Cheese Fries".  This is Jorge's alternative to french fries.  It was delicious!

These are super easy to make.  I just made 1 Zucchini instead of the 8 - 10 he suggests you use to make 6 - 8 servings.  I found that 1 egg was more than enough for making a single serving.  I also used a combination of grated Parmesan and shredded Parmesan to give it more texture and crunch.

Here is the recipe for a single serving (I only ate half of this myself)

Jorge's Zucchini Cheese Fries for One!

Ingredients:

1 med Zucchini

1 egg

1 pinch of chili powder

handful of shredded Parmesan (or as needed)

handful of grated Parmesan (or as needed)

Olive Oil (just a bit for frying)

Directions:

Wash and slice ends of of the zucchini.  Slice it crosswise to make 2 short pieces, then slice it down the middle and cut each half into halves & cut each of those into halves or 1/3rds again.  The object is to get the zucchini slices to look like fries.  You can make them thicker or thinner for your preference.

• Beat egg with the dash of chili powder. 
• Put Parmesan cheeses on a paper plate.
• Dip each piece of zucchini in egg mixture
• gently roll and press the zucchini into the cheese
• set aside until they are all breaded

Heat oil in a med to large fry pan.  Just enough to put a nice layer on the bottom.

• Fry in the olive oil turning gently on each of their 3 sides until golden brown and softened.
• Drain each "fry" on paper towels.
• Serve immediately or keep in a warm oven.

Mmm.  Good stuff!
