Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Zucchini
- 1 Egg
- Breadcrumbs from 1 Bun (preferably keto bread)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients for Breaded Zucchini Slices: Gather all the necessary ingredients and preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Wash and slice the zucchini into approximately one-centimeter thick rounds.
- Make Breadcrumbs if Needed: If you don't have breadcrumbs, slice your keto bread thinly, bake it in the oven to dry, and then pulse it in a food processor to create homemade breadcrumbs.
- Whisk Eggs and Set Up Bowls: In one bowl, whisk the egg thoroughly. Place the breadcrumbs in a second bowl. Keep the sliced zucchini in a third bowl ready for dipping.
- Soak Zucchini in Egg: Dip each zucchini slice into the whisked egg mixture, turning to ensure each slice is fully coated.
- Coat with Breadcrumbs: Transfer the egg-coated zucchini slices into the breadcrumbs bowl and press gently to coat each slice evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Arrange on Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the tray, avoiding overlap.
- Bake until Golden Brown: Bake the zucchini in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the coating is crispy and golden brown.
Notes
- Use keto bread to keep this recipe low-carb and keto-friendly.
- You can substitute regular breadcrumbs if not following a keto diet, though nutritional values will vary.
- For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the coated zucchini slices with cooking oil before baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture; leftover slices may lose crispness.
- This recipe is perfect as a snack, side dish, or appetizer.
- Ensure even slicing for uniform cooking.
