Crispy Grana Padano Zucchinis

Crispy Grana Zucchinis






​Prep Time: 15 Min
Cook Time: 15 - 20 Min

Yields: 20 - 24 Pieces

WHAT YOU NEED

• 2 Zucchinis
• 1 Large Free Range Egg
• 1/4 C Grana Padano, grated
• 1/4 C Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
• 1 Lemon, zested
• 1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
• 1 Tbsp. Fresh Parsley, finely chopped
• Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper
• Cooking Spray
• RECOMMENDED DIPS - Marinara, Chipotle Mayo, Lime Aioli

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 425 F
• Stir together the breadcrumbs, grana padano, lemon zest, pepper flakes, parsley, and a good pinch of salt & pepper. Set aside.
• Whisk together the egg with a splash of water in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Slice the zucchinis in to about 1/4" rounds. You should end up with anywhere from 10 - 12 slices per zucc. Dip the zuccs in to the egg mix followed by dropping them in to the crumb mixture, pressing down to coat them entirely. Transfer breaded zuccs to a parchment lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Continue until all slices have been breaded. 
• Spray the zuccs with cooking spray and hit the tray with a good pinch of salt.​

• Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and continue for another 5 - 7 until crispy and golden brown.
• Remove the zuccs from the oven and give them one last pinch of sea salt. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy right away for best results. The zuccs will not stay crispy for long.
• Serve with your favourite dip. I recommend marinara or chipotle mayo. ENJOY!
