Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs gluten-free if needed
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- to taste Salt and pepper
- as needed Olive oil or cooking spray for coating
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash the zucchinis thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them into thin, even rounds, aiming for about 1/4 inch thick. Place the sliced zucchinis on a clean towel or paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Coating
- In a large bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray. Dip each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly, and lay them on the baking sheet.
Baking
- Bake the zucchini chips in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.
- Once out of the oven, let the chips cool for a few minutes to ensure they’re extra crispy.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
To customize, consider adding cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for spice, or try pairing with sauces like marinara or basil pesto.
