Crispy Zucchini in the Oven
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and very fragrant sticks. Fragrant breadcrumbs… they're what give zucchini that wonderful crispy flavor. I should note that freshly made breadcrumbs stick to zucchini much less well than dried ones. Dried breadcrumbs (or breading crumbs) coat more evenly and also brown more evenly. But fresh breadcrumbs add more flavor. Oven-baked crispy zucchini has served me splendidly as a side dish more than once. Though they work perfectly well as a standalone dish too. You can prepare zucchini or squash rounds the same way.
