Ingredients

🍽️ Servings: 4 • 🔥 Calories/Serving: 120

2 large zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.

Step 2

In a shallow dish or plate, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dried oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together to create the seasoned breadcrumb and cheese mixture.

Step 3

Dip each zucchini round into the lightly beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are coated.

Step 4

Then, press each zucchini round into the seasoned breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating on both sides.

Step 5

Place the coated zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them to ensure even baking.

Step 6

Lightly spray the zucchini chips with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil. This will help them turn crispy while baking.

Step 7

Bake the zucchini chips in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, flipping them once halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Remove the zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Make it your own!

Customize the seasoning by adding your favorite herbs and spices, such as dried basil, thyme, or chili flakes.
For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some additional grated Parmesan cheese on top of the zucchini chips before baking.
Create a dipping sauce with Greek yogurt and your choice of herbs, garlic, or lemon juice for a refreshing accompaniment.
