CRISPY ZUCCHINI in a pan with lemon breadcrumbs, grandma’s super tasty recipe, perfect idea as a side dish, ideal for both lunch and dinner.
The crispy zucchini in a pan with lemon breadcrumbs is a quick and light side dish, perfect for summer. They are prepared in a few minutes and you don’t need to turn on the oven! This recipe is a delightful alternative to classic boiled or grilled zucchini. Thanks to the golden coating with lemon-flavored breadcrumbs and a drizzle of oil, they become crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
Perfect for accompanying meat or fish mains, but also great cold to take to the beach or work. A smart recipe, egg-free, oven-free, gluten-free (if you use suitable breadcrumbs), great for the whole family.
