Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 medium zucchinis, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a shallow bowl, mix chopped pistachios, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini cube into beaten eggs, then coat evenly in the pistachio mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Thread coated zucchini cubes onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.
- Brush skewers lightly with olive oil and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, until zucchini is tender and crust is golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, combine honey, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring until warm and combined.
- Drizzle hot honey over grilled skewers just before serving.
