Crunchy Baked Zucchini Coins are crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. Although these zucchini coins are a great appetizer, they also are a prefect side dish or a snack.
Despite the savory and delicious taste, these crunchy baked zucchini coins are low in calories and contain little to no fat. In fact, they contain very few ingredients and are simple to make.
First, you need three shallow bowls. One bowl is for the almond (or any plant milk). Then, you use the second bowl for the flour mixture. And, the last bowl is for the bread crumb mixture. Although I used Panko bread crumbs, you can use any gluten-free Panko available at the grocery store.
Lastly, you just need two medium zucchinis (I used green one, but you may use yellow).
The dipping sauce selection is yours. I used Ketchup with Sriracha. You could also use vegan ranch or try my Vegan French Dressing! To be honest, these little devils don’t even need sauce at all.
