Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 large egg white
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Add the water and egg white into the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dip each snack stick into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place coated sticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, not touching each other.
Lightly spray the top of the sticks with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each stick and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the baked snack sticks to the skillet, and lightly pan-fry them until they are crisp on all sides, about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite low-fat dipping sauce and enjoy!
