Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Lightly brush or spray both sides of the zucchini slices with olive oil.
  5. Press each zucchini round into the breadcrumb mixture, coating well on both sides.
  6. Arrange coated slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm and fresh.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
  • Add cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a spicy variation.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
  • Do not use frozen zucchini as it holds too much moisture.
