Ingredients
•
1 teaspoon olive oil
•
1/4 cup water
•
2 tablespoons soy flour
•
1/3 cup plain bread crumbs
•
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
•
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
ground black pepper to taste
•
1 dash cayenne pepper
•
2 zucchinis, quartered and cut into spears
•
1 tablespoon vegan mayonnaise
•
1 tablespoon ketchup
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread olive oil on a large baking sheet.
2
Mix water and soy flour together in a bowl to form a thick, pancake-like batter.
3
Stir bread crumbs, herbes de Provence, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper together on a shallow plate.
4
Dip zucchini spears into the batter. Roll in bread crumb mixture to coat. Place spears cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet, all facing the same direction.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 10 minutes. Turn to other cut side and bake for 10 minutes. Turn spears so they are skin-side down; continue baking until browned, about 5 minutes more.
6
Transfer zucchini spears to a platter. Serve with vegan mayonnaise and ketchup.
