VEGETARIAN PEPPERONI...

This recipe was inspired by my love for pepperoni pizza years ago before becoming vegetarian.

And since I wanted to use a real food ingredient for this, then yellow squash seemed like the perfect fit for this.

So I knew if I experimented enough I could come up with something that tasted pretty close.

Hence this Yellow Squash Vegetarian Pepperoni has all of the flavor of pepperoni in a little round slice of squash.

HOW TO COOK YELLOW SQUASH

Full directions for this in the recipe card below.

For this recipe I wanted to keep it really simple so I baked the squash.

But you could also pan fry it if you prefer. Although I found it easier to bake them.

Just thinly slice the squash, dip in egg mixture and then in bread crumb mixture.

Place on baking and cook in preheated oven turning once during the cooking process.

Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight container in the fridge.

RECIPE TIPS AND HOW TO STORE IT

It's best eaten when first made, but will keep in a covered container in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Just reheat on warm ( 200-250 degrees) about 10 minutes prior to serving.

It's recommend that you use fresh squash and not frozen squash to make this recipe.
