Courgette Fries with aquafaba mayo*
2 large courgettes cut into batons about 1/2” thick and 2” long
250 ml of dairy free milk - I used unsweetened soy
200g Chickpea or Coconut flour
Breadcrumb Seasoning.
100g Obento Panko Breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Olive oil - for roasting.
Stir all the seasonings with the nutritional yeast and set aside in a wide rimmed bowl.
Pour the dairy free milk into a wide rimmed bowl and do the same with the flour in a separate bowl. Blot the courgette batons dry with a paper towel before dusting them in the chickpea flour and then the dairy free milk. Dip them in the breadcrumb mix and lay out on a lined and oiled baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes turning once until they’re crispy on the outside.
Aquafaba Mayonaise:
150 ml liquid from a can of chickpeas
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
300 ml of sunflower oil
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon powdered English mustard
To make your aquafaba mayonnaise combine the mustard, lemon juice, salt and bean water in a small bowl and whip on a high setting. It will take about 90 seconds to froth up. Slowly stream in your oil.
