Super simple and crunchy Italian snack or side dish that will wow your taste buds.
The beauty and flavor of this dish comes from the fresh veggies. The onions caramelize with the zucchini coins when sauteed and you get an addictive little dish. If you like this dish, you will love my Italian Broccoli Scarpaccia.

Want to try this. How many servings is this?
Hi Jane, its for 6 servings the way my nutritional info is set up – but you can cut into any size pieces you like.
Hi Stella. Love your delicious recipes. I wonder if I can use fine polenta instead of corn meal ? Thank you 😊
HI Marianne, thank you so much for trying them out! I dont think that would work here. I wuould sub in Panko breadcrumbs instead
Hi,
How can I make this Gluten free?
GLuten free flour should work here – one to one!
I made this with cornbread mix as I didn’t have cornmeal. It came out a tiny bit thicker and a little sweet but so delicious! We topped it with sour cream…, so good!!! Will definitely make again.
I made this yesterday and it was very bland tasting with very little flavor. It just felt like it needed another ingredient
Made this afternoon and has for dinner, so delicious and so easy!
Hi. Just made this. Tasty. Crispy on top and bottom but soft and gooey on inside. Not firm like yours when sliced. What did I do wrong? Thank you. Love your recipes.
Haven’t eaten this yet but it looks grand. All your other recipes I’ve tried were very tasty. Thanks for sharing
Simple crunchy and full of flavour – I did a serve 2 in the air fryer which worked a treat
Looks so yummy. Would love suggestions to make this gluten free and get the same crispy, crunchiness!
My friend made it with GF one-for-one flour, and it was great. I couldn’t tell it from the regular flour version.
HI Sandy, glad it was enjoyed!!
You really need to make the layer super thin when you bake the batter. Maybe I didn’t extract enough liquid from the veggies, despite salting and letting them sit a long time before squishing out water and sautéing. After baking, the dish came out gummy in the center, which means the batter was not spread thin enough. Tasted good but definitely a texture problem. Maybe I can put it in the air fryer to crisp it up.
I make this great recipe regularity and substitute chick pea flour to make it gluten free and diabetic friendly. Chick pea flour is used in faranata and socha which are similar.
Works great.
This was delicious and so easy to make. I think I’ll add some roma tomatoes on top next time for some acidity. So happy I found this recipe!! Thank you!
Has anyone used almond flour instead of regular flour? I’d love to try this… looks so yummy!
I made it today, need more seasoning .
Liked it! Add thyme, for a herbal taste
Delicious. Planning to bake that for Xmas. Thank you!
Saw your recipe on TikTok and I made this today. I didn’t have any parmesan but wanted that cheese flavor, so I topped half with feta, and the other half with cottage cheese clumps and sprinkled some grated Edam just to have some of the crunches and it turned out great! Thanks for sharing your recipes!
