Step by step cooking zucchini chops in breadcrumbs in the oven, recipe with photo:
1. Wash the squash and dry it with a paper towel. Cut off the ends on both sides and cut them into rings about 1 cm thick. Take young fruits with a thin peel and small seeds for the recipe. Otherwise, the vegetable will have to be peeled and seeds removed, which will prevent the chops from being cooked.
2. Use a serrated hammer to beat off the zucchini rings on both sides. To prevent splashes from flying in different directions, cover the zucchini with a plastic bag and beat them through it.
3. Pour milk into a deep bowl, add salt and black pepper.
4. Place the ground crackers on a flat plate.
5. Put the zucchini rings in a container with milk and turn them over several times.
6. Transfer the chops to a bowl of ground breadcrumbs.
7. Turn the courgettes several times until they are well covered with breadcrumbs. Repeat the procedure again: quickly dip the zucchini in milk and bread with breadcrumbs.
8. Grease a baking tray with vegetable oil and lay out the breaded zucchini. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send zucchini chops in breadcrumbs to bake for half an hour. Serve the finished dish to the table with any side dish, for example, mashed potatoes or boiled rice.
