We loved these! Made for dinner tonight as a side dish. They were very easy and quick to throw together. I used Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, so I omitted the Italian seasoning and some of the garlic powder. I also left out the seasoning salt to cut down on sodium. Ended up cutting the zucchini into rounds. I was very impressed with how they turned out - especially since my husband (who's not so much into any veggies beyond french fries ;-)) said they were good and he'd gladly eat them anytime. Thanks for the awesome recipe!!!!

Wonderful as always kittencal! I used italian breadcrumbs so left out most of the spices except for the garlic powder. Loved the mixture of the flour with the breadcrumbs, made for a great batter texture. Only change I would make is more salt, but that's about just personal preference. Will definitely do again, thanks!
