The Crisper Whisperer: What'S A Cucuzza? Recipe

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425u00b0F. Trim the ends off the cucuzza and peel it with a vegetable peeler. If it is long, cut it crosswise into several pieces so it is easier to work with. Then halve each piece lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out the seeds. Cut into sticks. Sprinkle with salt.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cayenne.

3. 3

   Bake for about 7 minutes, until golden on the underside. Flip and bake for about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with additional salt and serve.
