Yes, I’m still obsessed with bang bang sauce. As far as I can tell, this sauce goes with just about everything and my newest way to use it is with crispy baked zucchini. Think bite-sized baked zucchini fries drizzled with this savory, sweet and spicy sauce.

Zucchini pieces are coated in panko crumbs and baked until crispy. I love the contrast of the crunchy outer coating and soft-cooked zucchini. I also love that the zucchini skin maintains its beautiful green color while cooking.

Make this Recipe in Four Easy Steps

  • Coat bite-sized pieces of zucchini in egg followed by panko bread crumbs. Place them on a baking sheet in an even layer.
  • Bake the zucchini for 15 minutes or until the panko is golden brown.
  • Combine sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, low-fat mayonnaise and honey in a small bowl.
  • Drizzle the sauce over the crispy zucchini and serve.

It really is that easy and the combination of the baked zucchini with the creamy sauce is so good. I can eat this as a main meal, side dish or as an appetizer or a snack.
