Two very enthusiastic thumbs up for this 5-star recipe! Loved the fact that is was baked and not fried :) I didn't have fresh parsley on hand so I subbed 1/3 cup dried and it still turned out yummy~! After 6 minutes in the oven they weren't browning as much as I'd like so I broiled them for an additional 2-3 minutes per side. Overall, very pleased with this recipe; definitly a repeater!2Reply
