Today, an easy yet super tasty recipe: Baked Crispy Zucchini Mille-Feuille. If you want a light and delicious side dish, this is the right one for you. This recipe includes double cooking and nothing is fried. First, the zucchini is baked as a pie and then cut into cubes and breaded. I cooked them in the oven, but if you prefer, you can fry them in peanut oil. I opted for the lighter version.
