GF Zucchini Sticks with 10 Minute Marinara Sauce (Paleo-Friendly)

We stopped at the farm today to pick up our week's worth of eggs, and I grabbed some freshly-picked zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, and cucumbers as well from the farmstand.  I have been having a major craving for zucchini sticks, so I decided to make some tonight.  I served them as an accompaniment to our bunless grass-fed burgers.  They were delish! 

GF Zucchini Sticks
-2 large zucchini (peeled and chopped into finger-like pieces)
-2 cage-free eggs
-any GF flour (I used coconut today because it was the only one I had in the pantry)
-oregano
-garlic powder
-sea salt
-pepper
-olive oil or coco oil

Mix flour with spices and set aside.  Drench zucchini slices in egg batter and roll in flour mixture.  Brown zucchini sticks in olive oil in a saucepan for a few minutes.  Then transfer to a cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes until crispy.  Serve with marinara sauce.

10 Minute Marinara Sauce
-3 ripe organic tomatoes (diced)
-olive oil
-fresh garlic (minced)
-sea salt
-basil
-oregano

Put all ingredients in a saucepan and cook on low for 10 minutes.  Transfer to Magic Bullet and blend for 30 seconds.  Serve with zucchini sticks.

Yum!!
