Are there panko bread crumbs in this breading??

This recipe doesn’t contain breadcrumbs.
Drexy Twitter says
On this and other recipes from easylowcarb, the nutritional breakdown does not include the serving size. This makes the posted nutritional data useless. I realize the recipe specifies 4 servings, but the data chart doesn’t make that distinction. Is it for the whole recipe? Or, is it for 1/4 of the recipe?
Easy Low Carb SN says
Hi Drexy, at the top of the nutrition facts chart it does state the amounts listed are per serving. Keep in mind nutritional information may vary depending on the brand of ingredients you choose to use. Hope that helps!
Adrienne says
Right, but what I think their point is, is that it doesn’t specify what a serving size is. I’m going to assume that because your recipe says it serves 4, and you’re using 2 medium zucchini, that half of 1 zucchini is a serving. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Easy Low Carb SN says
Thanks for clarifying Adrienne! And you are totally right, a serving would about half a medium zucchini.
San says
Haven’t made the zucchini fries or zucchini pizza bites but want to know if there is a dairy freeze cheese that can be substituted for these two recipes. they look yummy! thanks
Easy Low Carb CH says
I have only made the recipes as written. I’d think that your favorite dairy free cheese substitute would work, but hopefully another reader can help you San!
Michele says
Is there instruction for using an air fryer for this recipe? Are the zucchini fries supposed to be air-fried at the same temperature and for the same length of time as the baked recipe states?
Easy Low Carb EW says
For cooking in an air fryer preheat it to 375°F and cook for 8 minutes, then flip the sticks over and cook an additional 6-8 minutes.
