Ingredients
Sweet Chili Zucchini
- oil mister or cooking spray
- 3 Sweet Chili Rice Cakes
- 2 medium zucchini cut into ¼-inch slices
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs beaten
Lime-Almond Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup Honey Almond Butter
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or liquid aminos
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp Sriracha
Instructions
Sweet Chili Zucchini
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a large baking sheet with oil mister or cooking spray.
- Break rice cakes into pieces and place in a food processor. Process until fine crumbs form—the texture should be similar to breadcrumbs, not flour. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- On a second plate, combine flour and salt. Dredge both sides of each zucchini slice in flour mixture, then in egg, and coat with rice cake crumbs. Place slices on baking sheet.
- Once all zucchini has been coated, spray tops with additional oil. Bake until zucchini is crispy and just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Serve with Lime-Almond Dipping Sauce.
