hese cutlets are a fantastic way to bridge the gap between a savory vegetable side and a hearty “brinner” staple. They have a similar textural appeal to pancakes for supper, offering a crispy exterior with a tender, moist center.
Using oats instead of breadcrumbs provides a rustic, chewy structure that holds up beautifully to the moisture in the zucchini.
