- 2 medium delicata squash, washed and sliced into 1/2-inch rings (seeds removed) 1/2 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk 2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 5 tbsp water (flax egg) 1/2 cup vegan parmesan cheese, finely grated (store-bought or homemade. we used violife) 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs or panko 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp black pepper avocado oil spray or 2 tbsp avocado oil
Instructions
- prep the squash: slice the delicata squash into rings, about 1/2-inch thick, and remove the seeds. set aside.
- make the flax egg: whisk the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- set up a coating station: in one shallow bowl, combine the flax egg and dairy-free milk. in another, mix breadcrumbs, vegan parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
- coat the rings: dip each squash ring into the flax egg mixture, letting the excess drip off. then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. place the coated rings on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- add oil: lightly spray or brush the coated rings with avocado oil for crispiness.
- bake: preheat your oven to 400°F. bake the rings for about 20 minutes, flip, and then bake another 12 minutes.
- serve: serve hot with marinara sauce, vegan ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
