Looking for a delicious way to use up all that summer zucchini in the garden? Make Zucchini Mozzarella Stacks! Here fried zucchini slices are layered with warm marinara sauce, mozzarella slices, and fresh basil. So simple, so perfect!
I didn’t include measurements here because you can easily make as much or as little as you want. Two zucchini should make 4-6 stacks. For every two zucchini, you’ll need about 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup Panko, 6 slices of mozzarella, and about 1/3 cup of marinara sauce.
This would be a delightful summer appetizer for company! It would also be wonderful with rice, couscous, or pasta as an entree.
