Oven Fried Squash Recipes

OVEN-FRIED SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Dip the squash slices in water. Dredge in bread crumbs.
• Place breaded squash slices on an oiled baking sheet and bake for 10-20 minutes, until done.

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.

OVEN FRIED ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. In oven, melt butter in a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
• With a sharp knife, carefully cut acorn squash into wedges or rings. Scoop out seeds.
• Break eggs into a shallow bowl and beat lightly.
• In another bowl, combine bread crumbs with the Romano cheese.
• Dip each squash piece in beaten egg.
• Dredge in coating mix. Set in buttered baking dish.
• Bake until squash is tender and outside turns crispy brown, 25-30 minutes.
• Turn over with tongs and bake until second side is lightly browned, an additional 5-10 minutes.
• Serve hot.
