How to Make Zucchini Oven Fries

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Trim the ends of 2 medium zucchini and cut each in half lengthwise. Slice into 1/4-inch wide sticks, resembling french fries.
In a medium bowl, beat 1 large egg white with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Add the zucchini sticks to the egg white and toss gently to coat evenly.
In a large paper bag, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Shake well to combine.
Add the zucchini sticks to the bag, 5-7 at a time, and shake gently to coat thoroughly.
Arrange the zucchini fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Generously spray all sides with cooking spray to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
