KITTENCAL'S LOW-FAT OVEN-BAKED ZUCCHINI STICKS
A recipe that goes back years and a great way to use up all that zucchini left over from summers crop, you may adjust all seasonings to taste --- if you are a garlic lover then you may increase to 1 teaspoon, I also add in a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat --- use only dry breadcrumbs for this --- if your seasoned breadcrumbs already have salt added then omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt --- as one reviewer mentioned that she dipped the sticks into Ranch dressing so you might want to give that a try using a low fat dressing or dip :)

Steps:
- Slice the zucchinis and toss with sea salt and lemon zest. Make sure they are thoroughly coated. Steam the zucchini slices. I use a ceramic bowl covered in the microwave for 6 minutes. While the zucchini steams, take the raw spinach leaves and the basil and grind them up finely in a food processor. You should be left with about a cup of chopped greens. Place these in a bowl. Take the steamed zucchini slices and the 1/2 of tofu and place in the food processor. It is fine if the zucchini is still warm. Blend until they are a paste and add to the bowl. You can blend less if you want it to be chunky. Mix the greens and the zucchini paste in the bowl by hand. Add in your tahini as you stir. Sprinkle with some more sea salt and lemon zest to taste Garnish with radicchio, radishes, tomatoes and serve with pita or crackers. Makes four servings, or about 8 ounces.
