Baked Courgette Chips with Tomato Coulis Dipping Sauce

Ingredients for Baked Courgette Chips with Tomato Coulis Dipping Sauce

• 450g ripe tomatoes, peeled, cored, and diced

• 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

• 1 tablespoon honey

• 1 tablespoon minced shallot or onion

• 2 teaspoons fresh basil, chopped

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 150g unseasoned bread crumbs

• 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

• 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

• 130g plain flour

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 3 medium courgette, cut lengthwise into 2-inch-long and 1/4-inch-thick pieces (peel first, if desired, and avoid round pattypan squash — the shape does not lend itself to chips)

How to make Baked Courgette Chips with Tomato Coulis Dipping Sauce

1. Combine all the coulis ingredients in a blender and pureé. Transfer to a sauté pan and cook over medium heat until fragrant and warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator to cool.

2. Preheat oven to 177°C.

3. In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Place the flour in another medium bowl and the beaten eggs in a smaller bowl.

4. Dip the courgette sticks first in the flour until lightly coated, then in the beaten eggs. Roll them in the bread-crumb mixture until well covered.

5. Transfer the courgette pieces to a nonstick baking sheet and bake until the courgette is tender but the coating is crisp, about 20 minutes. Let the chips cool slightly before eating. Serve with the coulis as a dipping sauce.
