Egg-Free Breaded Zucchini Recipe

Egg-Free Breaded Zucchini Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized zucchinis
• 1 cup of flour (for breading)
• 1 cup of milk (plant-based milk can also be used)
• 1/2 cup of flour (to mix with the milk)
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Garlic powder (optional)
• Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Zucchini:

   • Wash the zucchinis and trim the ends.
   • Slice the zucchinis into approximately 1 cm thick rounds.

2. Preparing the Breading:

   • Prepare three bowls.
   • Place the flour in the first bowl.
   • Pour the milk into the second bowl and mix in the 1/2 cup of flour to create a thicker batter.
   • Place the breadcrumbs in the third bowl, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired.

3. Breading:

   • First, coat each zucchini slice in the plain flour, making sure each side is covered.
   • Then, dip the slices into the milk-flour mixture and let the excess drip off.
   • Finally, coat the slices with the breadcrumbs, ensuring each side is evenly covered.

4. Frying:

   • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
   • Place the breaded zucchini slices in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
   • After frying, place the breaded zucchini slices on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

5. Serving:

   • Serve the breaded zucchini hot, with a fresh salad, dip, or side dish of your choice.

Tips:

• For a crispier coating, you can repeat the milk-flour and breadcrumb steps.
• Experiment with different spices in the breadcrumbs, such as paprika, oregano, or Parmesan cheese for an even more flavorful result.
