Baked Version: Instead of frying, bake the coated zucchini at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
Spicy Twist: Add a dash of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mix for extra heat.
Cheesy Delight: Melt some mozzarella on top for a gooey, cheesy upgrade.
Gluten-Free Option: Use almond flour or crushed cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs.
FAQ:
1. Can I use other vegetables for this recipe?
Yes! This method works well with eggplant, mushrooms, or even cauliflower.
2. Can I make this ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can coat the zucchini slices in advance and refrigerate them until ready to fry.
3. Can I freeze fried zucchini?
While possible, it may lose its crispiness. If freezing, reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore texture.
This recipe proves that zucchini can be just as flavorful and satisfying as meat. Try it once, and you might find yourself making it again and again! Let me know how it turns out. 😊
