Shopping List:
Serves 2
2 Large zucchinis, washed and cut into medium thick discs
½ Cup of Panko (dried Japanese breadcrumbs)
Oil or choice (I like grapeseed or avocado oil)
Sprinkle of onion powder
Sprinkle of garlic powder
Sprinkle of sea salt

Dip:
1 Teaspoon of grated onion
2 Tablespoons of thick non flavored yogurt (you can use regular Greek style or thick style plant based)
1 teaspoon of mayo (regular or vegan)
½ teaspoon of Dijon
3 shakes of sriracha or hot sauce
Squeeze of ½ a lime
Place all in a bowl and whisk. Adjust seasoning.

Method for zucchini:
1. Heat some oil in a saucepan (about 2 tablespoons).

2. Make the dredge for the zucchini by placing breadcrumbs in a shallow baking pan or bowl and add the salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.

3. Once oil is medium hot, dip the zucchini discs in the dredge and coat both sides (pressing the breadcrumbs on the zucchini so it will stick) and place in hot oil.

4. Turn over zucchini when the sides start to get very brown and crispy (about 4 minutes each side).

5. When zucchini is nice and brown place on a baking rack and sprinkle with a little salt and parsley for garnish.

6. Give the dip another stir and enjoy!
