CLARE'S BAKED ZUCCHINI COINS

There are lots of baked zuke recipes on 'Zaar. Here is my take. I only dip a single side so I don't have to worry about flipping them, but you can certainly dip both and flip them during baking. Of course, the amount of seasoning and egg white you use will depend on the size of your zucchini. Sometimes I'll add some grated parmesan or extra cayenne pepper. DH likes to dip these in ketchup.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
fresh ground pepper
1 zucchini
1 egg
olive oil

Steps:

  • Mix flour, cornmeal, salt, basil and pepper on a plate.
  • Beat egg in a small bowl.
  • Slice zucchini into 1/4" thick coins (its easier to brown them more evenly in the oven if they are coins because you only have to flip them once).
  • Dip zucchini into egg and then into cornmeal mixture.
  • Coat a parchment lined cookie sheet with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Arrange zucchini coins on cookie sheet and bake at 425° for about 10 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  • Serve with bottled blue cheese or ranch dressing as an appetizer or with steak and salad for a meal.

Tips:

  • To ensure the zucchini coins stay intact during cooking, make sure to slice them thinly and evenly. Additionally, patting them dry with paper towels before cooking helps remove excess moisture and promotes crispier coins.
  • To achieve a golden-brown crust, cook the zucchini coins over medium-high heat. However, keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. Adjust the heat if necessary.
  • Feel free to customize the seasonings and herbs used in the recipe to suit your taste preferences. Some popular additions include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried oregano.
  • Serve the zucchini coins immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor. They can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a vegetarian main course.
