Recipe Tips
Storing & Reheating Instructions
- Freezing: Not recommended, as breading becomes soggy and zucchini releases excess moisture when thawed.
- Refrigerator Storage: Store in an airtight container with paper towels for up to 3 days. The coating may soften slightly when chilled.
- Reheating Method: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes on a wire rack. Never microwave, as this creates a soggy coating and uneven heating.
