Masa Crusted Zucchini Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Zucchini

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the zucchini into rounds or sticks, about 1/4 inch thick. Place them in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Make the Masa Coating

    In a separate bowl, combine the masa harina, parmesan cheese, soy nuts, and chopped fresh cilantro. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Coat the Zucchini

    Dip each piece of zucchini into the corn puree, ensuring it's well-coated, then dredge it in the masa mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Bake the Zucchini

    Place the coated zucchini pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over them. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Masa Crusted Zucchini with a side of extra corn puree for dipping!
