Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 for greasing Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper with olive oil spray.
Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin, uniform rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg until fully beaten.
Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Then coat it in the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
Place the coated zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini crisps with olive oil spray to help them brown and crisp up.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and crunchy. Flip them halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli, and enjoy!
