Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- optional cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the zucchini and slice them into coins approximately 1/4-inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each zucchini coin into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
Transfer the zucchini coin to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to both sides. Place the coated coin on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the dipping and coating process for all zucchini slices, arranging them in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping.
Spray the tops of the zucchini coins lightly with cooking spray (optional, but it helps with browning).
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip the zucchini coins over and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce!
