Can you use cornbread mix instead of cornmeal for fried zucchini?

You can't directly substitute cornbread mix for cornmeal in fried zucchini. Here's why:

* Cornbread mix contains more than just cornmeal. It includes baking powder, sugar, salt, and sometimes other ingredients. This would drastically change the flavor and texture of your fried zucchini.

* Cornbread mix is not meant for frying. The ingredients in cornbread mix are designed for baking, not for creating a crispy, fried coating.

Instead, you could:

* Use the cornbread mix for a different recipe. You could make cornbread muffins or cornbread casserole instead.

* Make a simple cornmeal batter. Mix together cornmeal, flour, spices, and seasonings for a classic fried zucchini coating.
