Just recently I started to experiment more with this summer squash. Courgette. Zucchini. Cucumber look-alike. Whatever you want to call it. This antioxidant and Vitamin C powerhouse has become a beloved staple of mine from making zoodles (zucchini noodles) to now fries! Maybe dehydrated chips next? Or fritters? Hmmm…
Not only is it high in antioxidants and Vitamin C, it’s also a great digestion aid due to its high water content and anti-inflammatory properties. Aside from all the other benefits like low cholesterol, Vitamin B and low carbs. WIN! So I had to step up my veggie snacks up a notch from just raw carrots and celeries with hummus dip.
I threw in my leftover gluten-free bread into my food processor and made them into crumbs and voila! Bye panko crumbs, hello gluten-free bread crumbs! (Yes I just used the word ‘crumb’ 3, now 4 times) Dip it with some leftover vegan tzatziki (recipe link here) or some guacamole and salsa, you’re set for your afternoon of snacking that you can’t even tell it’s actually healthy.
