Light Breaded Zucchini baked in the oven, is a super quick and super simple recipe, especially a great solution for a side dish for our dinner.
Zucchini made this way are really tasty in my opinion and alternatively, you can also opt to use round zucchinis, so the slices will be a bit bigger.
The breading is really a small touch but it makes them very tasty, generally, especially children who do not eat vegetables very willingly, with the breading in this way, will like them more.
Personally, I really like adding breadcrumbs to recipes, sometimes to make them crunchy or to give them that extra hint of flavor.
I recommend only cutting them all to the same thickness, otherwise, some will burn during cooking and others will still be semi-cooked.
If you make this or any other of my recipes on my blog, feel free to send me your photos and I will put them on my fb page in your name.
