-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups broccoli florets
- or cauliflower florets
- or carrots in 1/4 inch strips
- or zucchini in 1/2 inch strips
- or bell peppers in 1/2 inch strips
1/2 cup instant mashed potato flakes
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
2 egg whites -- *
* original was 1 whole egg
NOTE: The original recipe calls for 2 tblsp melted butter to be mixed with the
dry ingredients. I've made other "oven-fried" veggies successfully without
adding oil to the dry mix, so I don't think it's necessary here.
Preheat oven to 400F.
Mix the potato flakes, cheese, garlic powder and basil.
Beat the egg whites. Dip veggies in the egg and then into the potato and cheese
mixture, turning to coat. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly brown.
