Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Prepare three shallow bowls for breading. In the first bowl, add the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each zucchini round in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it is coated evenly.
Place the breaded zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the zucchini rounds halfway through baking to ensure they cook evenly and develop a golden, crispy exterior.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve immediately with a side of marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
