Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound zucchini (about 2 medium, sliced into 1/4-inch coins)
2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)
1 medium ripe mango (peeled and pitted (about 1 cup fruit))
1 jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
  • Place zucchini in a large bowl and sprinkle with the flour. Toss until all pieces are well-coated. Crack the egg into a bowl and add the water. Whisk with a fork until blended. Add the coconut, Panko, salt, and pepper to a third bowl and stir to combine.
  • Working with 2-3 pieces at a time, dip each flour-coated zucchini coin into the egg then transfer to the coconut-Panko mixture, dredging until both sides are covered with the crumb mixture. Lay on the baking sheet and repeat until all pieces are covered.
  • Drizzle with olive oil if desired - the results will be slightly crisper and more golden brown with a little oil. But I've skipped the olive oil in the past and the results are still delicious!
  • Bake until golden brown and fork-tender, 12-15 minutes.
  • While the zucchini is baking, make the Mango-Jalapeno Dipping Sauce. Add all sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Add additional jalapeno pepper if desired. Any leftover sauce will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
  • Transfer cooked zucchini to individual plates and spoon sauce into dipping bowls to serve alongside.
