salt and freshly ground black pepperto taste
1cuppanko bread crumbs
½cupgrated Parmesan cheese
1teaspoondried oregano
1teaspoongarlic powder
cooking spray
Instructions
Prep. Preheat oven to 450˚F. Line 3 baking sheets with foil; lightly spray them with cooking spray and set aside.
Prep the zucchini. In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices, olive oil, salt, and pepper; mix until well coated. In a separate bowl, combine the panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder.
Coat. Dip slices of zucchini in the cheese mixture and coat on both sides, pressing on the coating to stick. Place the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Lightly spray each zucchini with cooking spray. This will help with achieving a crunchier texture.
Bake. Pop the baking sheets in the oven and bake the zucchini chips for 10 minutes; rotate the pan and continue to bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the chips are golden brown.
Serve. Remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Serve them with sour cream, plain yogurt, ranch dressing, marinara sauce, pesto, etc.
Notes
Cut the zucchini slices the same size for uniform baking.
For flavor and crispiness, coat them well with oil and parmesan mixture.
Spray them with cooking spray for extra crunch.
Don't overlap the zucchini chips on the baking tray.
Serve right after baking for the best taste and texture.
