Now that's spectacular! 01 of 07 Oven-Fried Pickles View Recipe These oven-fried pickles get their crispy exterior from a dredge in flour, egg and whole-wheat breadcrumbs. Serve with a creamy herbed sour cream to take this easy app to the next level. 02 of 07 Baked Corn Dogs View Recipe The summertime fair-food favorite is lightened up with a baked cornbread coating and is served on a stick. 03 of 07 Baked Churros View Recipe Skip the greasy mess and bake these healthier churros rather than frying them in oil. The cinnamon-sugar-dusted classic Mexican dessert comes out of the oven crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. 04 of 07 Apple-Cinnamon Mini Doughnuts View Recipe These bite-size baked apple doughnuts have all the flavor of their fried counterparts with fewer calories. Serve plain for breakfast, with an afternoon cup of coffee or alongside whipped cream for an after-dinner treat. 05 of 07 Oven-Fried Chicken on a Stick View Recipe Here's a fun way to serve oven-fried chicken for a picnic: put it on a stick. It's fabulous served with this homemade Vidalia onion and honey-mustard sauce, but it's also great with barbecue sauce or Frank's hot sauce. This is an easy recipe to double if you're serving a crowd. 06 of 07 Baked Funnel Cakes View Recipe Baked instead of deep-fried, these funnel cakes are a healthier option than the ones typically sold at carnivals and fairs. You can skip the powdered sugar and substitute fresh fruit if you'd like. 07 of 07 Blueberry Lemonade Slushies View Recipe This super-refreshing fruit slushie is so easy to make and uses just three ingredients. Try it with strawberries and raspberries, too--these are great for a kids' party, but the adults will love them just as much (especially spiked with a little vodka or gin). Was this page helpful?
