Zucchini Parmesan is the best way to use up those whopper zucchini's from your garden. The process of frying and "breading" the zucchini is a delicious way to eat those tougher vegetables. (Need your favorite paleo bread and flour substitute. Dairy is optional)
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 cup Paleo bread crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 cup Paleo Flour
- 2 egg whites
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cups Marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 3 tablespoons fresh basil diced
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Cut zucchini into 1/2″ slices, lengthwise.
- Salt and pepper each side, allow to sweat.
- While the zucchini is sweating make your bread crumbs. Combine bread crumbs, oregano, basil, parsley and thyme in a shallow bowl.
- Make a shallow bowl of flour and a separate shallow bowls of egg whites.
- Dip zucchini in flour then beaten egg whites, then herbed bread crumbs (oregano, basil, parsley, thyme).
- Pan fry the zucchini in the olive oil until the breading turns golden brown. Flip the zucchini and fry other side.
- Next add your favorite warmed marinara sauce, and a healthy helping of grated parmesan or fresh mozzarella. Serve over a bed of your favorite wilted greens and with a little bit of diced fresh basil.
- Enjoy!
