Breaded Zucchini

Description

Perfect for the table and with drinks. To be honest, I don’t even know which cuisine this breaded zucchini recipe belongs to, but that doesn’t matter — what matters is that the dish is incredibly delicious. The zucchini turn out with a fragrant, crispy crust; they pair wonderfully with wine and even beer, and I sometimes eat them just as they are, with tomato sauce. So if you’ve never tried this treat, I highly recommend making breaded zucchini at home — and the whole process will take you at most 40–50 minutes.
