Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into thin rounds about 1/4-inch thick for even cooking.
Prepare three separate bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In the third bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each zucchini slice in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the slice into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, covering both sides evenly.
Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping to ensure even baking.
Lightly spray the top of the zucchini slices with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping the slices halfway through the baking time.
Remove the zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or ranch, and enjoy!
