We don't do meatless Fridays but that sounds and look delicious.

Thank you.

It never occurred to me to add bread crumbs to the zucchini. I must try that.

I'd have to sub for the breadcrumbs but that looks delicious enough to want to try!

Can you have flour? Just dry them off and toss in flavored flour ( flavored with salt and paprika. )

It’s beyond delicious…I ate the leftovers today, cold out of the fridge. 😋

Nope. It's the wheat/carbs from it that's the problem (eating keto). But I've successfully sub'd bread crumbs with crushed pork rinds (there are some brands that are milder than others).

For dinner last night we had something close to Leonard's ribs (a lot less sauce than he pictured) * and one zucchini cooked TK style.

The ribs were quite good but the breaded zucchini slices stole the day. I see a lot of it in my future. Oh how I hate sticking my hand into egg wash.

* salt, pepper, wee bit of onion & garlic powder, a lot of smoked paprika and lightly sauced before broiling with a 50/50 blend of bbq sauce and the pan drippings.

I’m glad you like the zucchini slices…did you make a dipping sauce for it?

 

[Colbyt]

We ate them naked as it was just a trial run.

I always fry them in a bit of corn oil…but, I am going to try them in the air fryer sprayed with oil first.
They're so good fried…I’ve also had them in restaurants cut into zucchini sticks,..more breading.

I read an article before I cooked them. It said, the sticks or fries are harder to maintain an even thickness. Makes sense to me. I went with the medallions, discarding at least one end piece.

The AF is a good, probably healthier substitute, but nothing out of it has ever come close to real fried. Clam strips was the closet because the timing must be perfect in the deep fryer.

I agree fried is the best. I forgot to mention that i leave the skins on…did you?

Yes. I scrubbed them well and left them on. When roasting I often do stripe them but for frying I sorta thought I needed the skins.
