Hair Health: The Labor Day Menu Edition: 6 BBQ Recipe Must Haves

Even though maintaining a healthy diet is important, it’s ok to splurge once and awhile. Every table can have a couple of guilty pleasure dishes, because after all, it is a holiday! But these dishes don’t have to be super high in cholesterol, sugar, and calories to taste yummy! You don’t need french fries, chips, and ice cream to have a good time, instead indulge your cravings with these healthier alternatives:

4. Crispy Fried Zucchini

Serving Size: 4

Ingredients:

• Olive oil, for frying
• 1 3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
• 1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 3 medium zucchini, cut into 3-inch long by 1/2-inch wide strips

Directions:
Pour enough oil into a large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.

Stir 1 1/2 cups Parmesan, the panko, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl to blend. Working in batches, dip the zucchini in the eggs to coat completely and allow the excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Coat the zucchini in the panko mixture, patting to adhere and coat completely. Place the zucchini strips on a baking sheet.

When the oil is hot, working in batches, fry the zucchini sticks until they are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried zucchini to paper towels and drain.

Arrange the fried zucchini on a platter. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and serve.
