Description
A delicious and healthy snack made from thinly sliced zucchini, coated in breadcrumbs and baked until crispy.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with salt and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat the zucchini dry with paper towels.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- Let the zucchini chips cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Try using different types of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella, for a unique taste.
