These pennies are vegetarian made with whey isolate protein powder, but if someone tries it with vegan protein powder I would be thankful if you wanted to share with us how it went!
1 zucchini
Salt
2-3 scoops of whey isolate protein powder
Ca 1 cm (1/2 inch) oil in the frying pan
2 whipped eggs
Spices of choice
This breading get crispier and less doughy than regular flour breading, and it also get you full faster. The picture only shows half of the pennies since the other pennies mysteriously disappeared.
Cut the pennies in about 0,5 cm slices. Then you need to salt the pennies to get the moisture out in about 30 minutes.
Rinse them under water and dip it in protein powder on both sides.
After that you dip them in the whipped up eggs and in the protein powder against on both sides.
Fry them in ca 1 cm oil in a frying pan on both sides until they get golden brown. You will hear when the oil is hot enough because it starts bubbling.
Let it cool so you can taste if you need more spices or salt. Enjoy!
I’ve also tried this breading with chicken with good results. Next time I’m going to try with eggplants or cheese.
