Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my zucchini soggy?+

Zucchini holds a lot of water. Salt slices lightly, let them sweat 10 minutes, then pat dry before breading.

Can I make these gluten-free?+

Swap panko for gluten-free breadcrumbs and use gluten-free flour — texture stays crispy.

Best dipping sauce?+

Classic marinara, ranch, or a garlic aioli all work beautifully.
