Notes
This recipe works well with a variety of vegetables, especially mushrooms and zucchini. They are great with our without sauce. Also try with BBQ, honey mustard, or sriracha. Get creative!
In the oven right now. Can’t wait to try them. Question…how thick should the batter be? Thanks!
I hope you like them! The batter can be as thick or thin as you prefer. I like it about like a thick pancake batter.
Fantastic recipe. I used both cauliflower and whole mushrooms, and we cannot wait to have it again.
