How to Use Mayo for Breading Vegetables Recipe? A simple trick for extra flavor!
Okay, let’s talk about breading vegetables. I saw this thing online about using mayo instead of eggs and flour, and I was like, “What? That’s weird.” But then I thought, “Why not?” I’m always up for trying new things in the kitchen, you know?
So, I decided to give it a shot. I grabbed some zucchini from my fridge because that’s what I had on hand. First, I washed them and sliced them up into rounds. Then, I took out the mayo. Now, the stuff I read said you gotta use a thin layer, so I tried to do that. I used my fingers because it’s just easier, and spread a little bit of mayo on each zucchini slice.
- Washed the zucchini
- Sliced them into rounds
- Spread a thin layer of mayo on each slice
Honestly, it felt a bit strange at first, but it actually stuck to the zucchini pretty well. I had some breadcrumbs in my pantry, the regular kind, nothing fancy. After coating each slice with mayo, I dipped them into the breadcrumbs, and they coated them nicely.
Now, I had to decide how to cook them. I could have baked them, but I was in the mood for something crispy. So, I heated up some oil in a pan. Once the oil was hot, I placed the breaded zucchini slices in the pan and fried them for a few minutes on each side, until they were golden brown.
My little experiment
- Dipped mayo-coated zucchini in breadcrumbs
- Heated oil in a pan
- Fried the breaded zucchini until golden brown
The result? Not bad, not bad at all. The mayo actually helped the breadcrumbs stick better than egg sometimes does. And it added a bit of a tangy flavor, which was interesting. It wasn’t like, a huge difference, but it was noticeable. And I think adding Parmesan into mayo will be more delicious, but I forgot to buy Parmesan…
The zucchini came out pretty crispy, and the inside was still tender. I ate them with a little bit of ranch dressing because, well, everything’s better with ranch, right?
So, would I use mayo for breading again? Yeah, I think I would. It’s a neat little trick, especially if you’re out of eggs or just want to try something different. It’s not going to totally change your life, but it’s a fun little kitchen experiment. Plus, it’s super easy. You should give it a try sometime and tell me what you think!
