Baked Zucchini Bites

It’s healthy, delicious, low fat, guilt free, low carb, very easy to make- baked zucchini bites ticks all the right notes on your healthy snack list. Super crunchy outer layer and soft delicious baked zucchini inside, it’s just perfect to munch on any time. Let me tell you this one is super addictive too.

We all simply love recipes that are so easy to follow and results in amazing dish. Snack is an important part of your diet to give you that extra boost of energy in the middle of the day to keep you going. A healthy snack between meals can also decrease your hunger and keep you from overeating at meal time.

So these baked zucchini bites happened just like that. The only time consuming part is the baking the bites and waiting for these to turn crispy. I stuck my head close to the oven door watching and waiting for these to turn crisp. I’d say the wait was totally worth it. They turned out super crispy outside and zucchini was baked beautifully.

But, it won’t turn out to be crispy if they are not fried? That was the question I had in my mind just while I was prepping these. I thought using panko bread crumbs than usual bread crumbs helps is getting that crispy outer layer. Also coating the zucchini pieces evenly in seasoned flour, and egg wash ensure the panko bread crumbs sticks well and evenly all over the veggie.
