Rachael Ray has this great recipe for chili "fries" that she debuted on her show yesterday. I just tried them last night even though I was a little skeptical because I LOVE french fries and couldn't imagine a substitute. Surprisingly they are really delicious!
Poblano peppers are low in calories and a great source of vitamin c. Since these are baked and not fried they are a much healthier alternative to french fries.
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds poblano peppers
1 cup flour, divided
2 eggs
2 tablespoons mustard
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Salt and black pepper
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Set up 3 plates; one for the flour, in the second beat the eggs with the mustard and about 2 tablespoons of flour, in the third mix the breadcrumbs, grated cheese and salt and pepper.
Coat the peppers in the flour, next coat them in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumbs. Bake the peppers in the oven, turning each halfway through baking until golden and crispy, about 16 minutes.
Serves 4.
I didn't have any whole-wheat flour, but that would be a great substitution for the white flour. I used honey mustard, which tasted great, but you can use any kind you have.
