Recipe Variations and Substitutions
Coating Alternatives
Replace breadcrumbs with crushed cornflakes, panko breadcrumbs, or almond flour for different textures and flavors. For a gluten-free version, use rice flour and gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Seasoning Variations
Experiment with different spice blends such as Italian seasoning, garlic powder and onion powder, or a Mediterranean herb mix. Parmesan cheese added to the breadcrumb mixture creates an extra savory coating.
Cooking Method Alternatives
For a healthier option, bake coated zucchini at 220°C (425°F) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Air frying at 200°C (400°F) for 8-10 minutes also produces excellent results with less oil.
