Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchini, then trim off the ends. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the coating mixture.
Brush both sides of each zucchini slice with olive oil.
Dredge each zucchini slice in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres well to both sides.
Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Parmesan Crusted Zucchini as a snack or side dish!
