INGREDIENTS
2 chicken sausage links (170g total)
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal (approx. 43g)
4 large egg whites (approx. 132g total)
1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt (60g) for dip
1/4 cup water (60g)
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt & black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken sausage links into 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, egg whites, water, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a smooth batter.
Fold the sausage cubes into the batter until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, press and shape the mixture into a rectangular slab about 1/2-inch thick.
Score the slab lightly into stick shapes to guide cutting after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges start to crisp and the center is set.
Optional: For extra crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before cutting along the scored lines into sticks.
Serve warm with a side of low-fat Greek yogurt as a tangy dip.
