Vegetable baked fries. Try this healthy alternative using courgettes and aubergines. Still all the fun, but minus the calories! Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 aubergine (£0.67)
  • 2 courgettes (£0.80)
  • 70 g breadcrumbs (£0.80)
  • 2 eggs (£0.26)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & Pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C

  • Combine the breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast and optional chilli powder on a plate. Season with salt and pepper, if you want a kick of heat you could add ½ tsp of chilli powder.
  • Whisk the eggs in a separate wide bowl.
  • For the aubergine and courgette, slice into fries by removing the ends chopping into batons/ chunky fries shape. You don’t want them to be as skinny as french fries otherwise they wont hold their structure.
  • First dip the aubergine/courgette in the egg wash, then we roll through to the breadcrumb mix and finally place in the large baking tray that’s lined with parchment paper.
  • Repeat this step over and over again, I’d recommend putting on your fave playlist while you do this as it can take a lil bit of time BUT they will be worth the graft I promise.
  • Once you’ve coated all the fries, drizzle some olive oil on top and pop in the oven for 10-13 minutes. To the students with crazy ovens, watch those guys – you don’t want them to burn after all your hard work.
