Hello! We just today returned from Magiano’s. It was my first time there, and I fell head over heels in love with their zucchini appetizer. Thanks for the recipe. I had to find out how it was made. I guess people who like to cook don’t think “I have to go back for more,” they think “I have to learn how to make this!” One thing though. Our sauce definitely had garlic in it. I think there should be some garlic powder in the sauce. Otherwise, your recipe seems to be spot on and it looks identical to the zucchini at the restaurant. Thanks again.

Thanks for this recipe, I was given tons of zuchinni this week and thought about the appetizer from Maggiano’s. Will give it a try over the weekend for my holiday party. Thanks again!

Thanks for the recipe! My brother-in-law’s rehearsal dinner was this past Thursday night at Maggiano’s, and my husband and I have been salivating at the thought of the zucchini since. I’d say you got pretty darn close with this! The aioli was a little too lemony for my taste, but I might just leave out some of the lemon juice next time I try this. Thanks again!!

I just tried your recipe and LOVED the results! Thank you so much for posting this! I have been craving the fried zucchini ever since I went to Maggiano’s a couple of months ago and am grateful to be able to recreate them at home.

I’ve not tried to bake them but it might be worth a try. Let me know how they are baked.

I am definitely planning on trying these, but I’m wondering if you can bake them instead of frying them?

If I were to try baking it first I think the panco bread crumb mixture might need a little melted butter, which may defeat the purpose for baking it. I think the best tasting results would come from frying

Can you bake this instead of fry?
