 1 1/2 pounds zucchini, (about 3 medium), cut into 1/2-by-3-inch sticks
 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1

Preheat oven to 475°F.

2

Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine flours, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a large sealable plastic bag.

Turn the zucchini and coat any floury spots with cooking spray.
