About this Recipe

Imagine no grease splattering over your kitchen and no frying smell lingering throughout your house! This recipe gives you the crispiness of deep-frying with a lot less fat. We've left the dipping sauce up to your own devices, though we won’t argue with barbecue sauce or good ol’ ketchup. The house favorite at Brava is skipping the sauce and adding a healthy squeeze of lemon.

    • Remove parsley leaves from stems; coarsely chop leaves.
    • In third bowl, combine parsley, panko bread crumbs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, garlic powder, 3 tablespoons cooking oil and ½ teaspoon salt; stir well, breaking up any lumps.
