Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin ribbons
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 slices cheddar cheese, halved
  • 2 chicken sausages, cut into thirds
  • 3 slices bacon, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: Spicy mayo or garlic aioli for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare Zucchini: Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice zucchini into thin ribbons. Ensure they’re thin enough to fold but not tear.
  3. Set Up Dredging Station:
    • Bowl 1: Combine flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
    • Bowl 2: Lightly beaten eggs.
    • Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Assemble Skewers:
    • Coat a zucchini ribbon in flour, then egg, followed by panko.
    • Fold the ribbon and thread onto a skewer.
    • Add a piece of cheddar, sausage, and bacon.
    • Repeat the layering until the skewer is filled, leaving space at the ends.
  5. Bake:
    • Place skewers on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Lightly brush with olive oil.
    • Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until zucchini is golden and bacon is crispy.

Notes

  • Serving Suggestions: Enjoy hot with spicy mayo or garlic aioli. Pair with a fresh salad or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
  • Tips & Tricks:
    • For uniform zucchini ribbons, maintain consistent pressure when peeling.
    • Avoid overloading skewers to ensure even cooking.
    • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning.
  • Storage & Reheating:
    • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
    • Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to retain crispiness.
    • Freezing is not recommended, as zucchini may become mushy upon thawing.
