This recipe is fun, simple and delicious! The cutlets are very versatile as they can be eaten  as is, made into eggplant parmesan or used in a sandwich. Serve with a side of veggies, salad or over gluten free pasta. I recommend storing an extra stash of these breadcrumbs for future recipes, you can dehydrate them or bake them in the oven and store them in an airtight container. Let your imagination run wild with all of the possibilities of breading other vegetables or sprinkling these nutritious crumbs over your favorite salad. Have fun & enjoy!
