These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Oil the parchment with olive oil #1.

Join the discussionwould there be an issue freezing these raw and then baking? We don’t have a microwave so was concerned about reheating…using the stove or toaster oven, I think they would dry out. thoughts?
Jill, you certainly could free these raw. We might suggest flash freezing them in that case. Otherwise, they will all stick together with a wet batter as one large chunk. (https://onceamonthmeals.com/blog/series/kitchen-tips/flash-freezing/) But honestly, they should reheat just fine in a toaster or stove oven! You might could under cook them just slightly if you really wanted, to then finish cooking on your serving day. Does that make sense? If you have any more questions we are always here and happy to help! Best of luck!
We made ours per the recipe and reheated in the oven and they came out perfect. Not dry at all. honestly the zucchini shreds provide a lot of extra moisture in fact.
These sound great! Can you suggest a dipping sauce?
Any suggestions on how to adapt this for Paleo? We loved them before I had to go Paleo/AIP… We’re basically at Paleo minus Nightshades, so these would be great and my kids would definitely appreciate them, just need a sub for the breadcrumbs.
This is the best replacement for breadcrumbs that we’ve found. Try this and see if you can get your family back to loving their old favorite!
