Instructions
Gold Medal Flour Alpha Bakery Cookbook

1/3 cup melted butter
1 egg
2 tsps water
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups fresh veggies (broccoli flowerets or cauliflowerets, 1/4" carrot slices, 1/2" zucchini slices, 1/2" strips green or red pepper) - note: can use thawed frozen broccoli

1. Heat oven to 450°F. Brush bottom of pan with about 1 tbs of butter

2. Beat egg and water with a fork in a shallow dish. Mix flour and salt in another shallow dish

3. Dip about 1/4 of the veggies in egg mixture. Remove 1 veggie piece at a time with a slotted spoon, fork or hands; roll in flour mixture to coat. Place in a pan.

4. Repeat with remaining veggies. Pour remaining butter carefully over each piece and into pan.

5. Bake uncovered, turning once, until veggies are crisp-tender and coating is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes; drain. Sprinkle lightly with grated parmesan cheese if you like.
