Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian-style breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the flour in a separate shallow dish.
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
Dredge each zucchini slice in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg wash, then coat it with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the coated zucchini rounds onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini rounds with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the zucchini rounds halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy as is or with a dipping sauce of your choice!
