Low-calorie cutlets

Low-calorie cutlets are a light and healthy alternative to traditional meat cutlets, perfect for those watching their diet. Their history stems from the Russian cuisine's effort to adapt classic recipes to a healthier diet. Tender, aromatic, with a slight sweetness from carrots and the softness of zucchini, they retain juiciness by using vegetables instead of bread. Baked in the oven without excess oil, these cutlets have a delicate flavor and pleasant texture, while spices add piquant accents. An excellent option for a light dinner or healthy snack that pairs well with salads and vegetable sides. These cutlets can be served with natural yogurt or a light sauce for added flavor variety.
