Zucchini baked - an appetizer


Zucchini - i was always hesitant to use the non-Indian veges, fearing that my hubby will reject right away :(

But he proved me wrong. I could not resist cooking this as an evening snack, with a dip like Guacamole. So, i quickly baked it and in fact i charred it cos, it took more than 20 minutes to be baked. So i simply switched broil button in the oven and got it slightly charred but edible state!!!

Here the recipe is posted for you and my own reference. This is a great appetizer. Great one for calorie conscious people.

Requirements:
1. Zucchini squash - 5
2. Bread crumbs - 1 cup
3. Red chilly flakes - 2 tsp
4. Salt and pepper to taste
5. Oil - 5 tsp

Wash and cut the zucchini into slice of 1/4 inch , so that they do not shrink to nothing when they are baked. Now, take the bread crumb, mix it with salt, chilly flakes and 1 tsp of oil. Pick every slice zucchini and coat it with oil and then dab it on the bread crumb. You can even use butter or cheese for the initial coating on zucchini. Now arrange these in an aluminium foil which is oven proof. Bake it in 400 degree Fahrenheit for 20 minutes and then broil it for just 2-3 minutes. Or if you can wait then bake it for 30-40 minutes, until it turns crispy.

Yet another recipe is on its way,
until then,
