Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.75 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-seasoned)
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly spray it with cooking spray.
Rinse the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Set them aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dip each zucchini slice in the flour, ensuring it is lightly coated. Shake off any excess.
Next, dip the floured zucchini slice into the egg mixture, making sure it is completely coated.
Finally, press the zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place the breaded zucchini slice on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process for all zucchini slices, arranging them in a single layer on the baking sheet without overlapping.
Lightly spray the tops of the breaded zucchini slices with cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake the zucchini chips in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. They should be golden and crispy when done.
Serve the zucchini chips warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
