I feel accomplished when I don't fry when the food could be fried. These zucchini rounds were breaded and baked and are delicious. A smidge of oil is used when I spray the tops of the rounds, when on the baking sheet.
Baked Breaded Zucchini
Ingredients:
1 egg, beaten
2 zucchini, peeled and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 cup seasoned breading (I used Rice Chex with curry powder - 1/2 teaspoon curry powder)
Spray cooking olive oil
Method:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Put egg in a shallow bowl. Mix crumbs and seasoning and place in a shallow soup bowl.
Take each zucchini slice and dip into egg and then into breading.
Place on baking sheet and spray olive oil lightly on top of zucchini.
Bake for 20 minutes, until cooked through but not squishy.
You can add salt and pepper, if you like it spicier.
This looks delicious! And it's great that it's baked.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby will eat almost anything when it's fried.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE breaded zucchini fried or baked, Chaya. May I make a suggestion? Next time add a bit of grated italian cheese such as parmesan to the bread crumbs. Yummy!!!

ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about doing this with Panko. But Rice Chex makes it gluten free. Great idea.
