Zucchini Sticks & Sweet Onion Dipping Sauce that is to die for

Sweet Onion Dipping Sauce

OK I'm going to the dip first because it is JUST that good! Another disclaimer as usual- I don't like unions.  Yup- don't like em.  So i was feeling pretty brave to try this- the mayo sold me on it :)

Totally worth it this sauce has many uses- I'm planning marinate some chicken breasts in it, Spread it on sandwiches and well I will fully admit I may have taken a bite of it all on it's own.I made this all with my kitchen aid stick blender in the handy little cup it came with and it went right into the fridge in it after for use later this weekend.

I love this stick blender and use it several times a day- the big blender never comes out anymore

• 1 small red onion (or 1/2 a large one)
•  1 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 table spoons Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 cup mayonaise 
• 1 tablespoon butter

Melt the butter in a sauce pan chop your onion and add to the butter.  Saute on medium-low until nicely browned and caramelized.  
Put the onions into the blender or cup, add in the other ingredients. Mix until a nice texture

Zucchini Sticks: 

I'll say this was a good way to eat roasted zucchini- which none of us are a huge fan of- they got eaten. This would probably be also a delicious way to make other veggies such as sweet potatoes, or egg plant.

• 3 medium zucchini
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup parmesan
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs - Italian style
• 1/2 cup panko

You want nice medium size zucchinis.  Cut into 3-4" lengths then cut those up into sticks the thickness of your finger. Place into a colander which is placed into a bowl.  Generously coat with salt and let sit for about an hour so the water starts to move out of the flesh.

Rinse the salt off and pat dry with a towel.  Beat the egg & milk and place in a bowl. Mix the crumbs and cheese and have in another bowl.
Preheat oven to 450F
Put the egg mixture over the zucchinis in their bowl and thoroughly coat. One by one dip into the crumb mixture and place onto the non stick cooking sheet. Place into the oven cook for about 15 minutes- then carefully flip em over and cook another 15 minutes until crispy brown.
Dip and enjoy.  These would also be awesome with the Garlic Aioli I posted previously
