- Bake on a tray lined with parchment paper in a 180°C preheated oven for about an hour flipping sides in between the baking.Bake until golden brown.Spraying or drizzling olive oil over the cutlets in between the baking process can prevent the cutlets from drying out.
- Alternatively these can be deep fried too….
Notes:
I love my cutlets mild not very spicy so you wont find a large variety of spices added here.
