We loved this recipe. For the breadcrumbs I used Ezekiel bread and made my own toasted crumbs using my food processor. I make my own salt-free Italian seasoning. After the second immersion into the vinegar, I breaded the squash in the bowl that I used to make the breadcrumb mixture then used wire pastry racks to raise the squash for the second roasting.
What’s your best suggestion to replace the bread crumbs, make it gluten free
Ezekiel and Carbonaut make 0 sugar nearly carb free bread. I was thinking that pecans with the nutritional yeast would also make a nice crust.
Certainly crushed nuts, or corn meal, or a mix of corn meal and almond flour might work (I’ve done all of these in different recipes). But – check for browning/ baking more diligently with the nuts as they burn more easily.
Nice combo of savory and sweet!
