Crispy Zucchini Recipe

 

Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Cooking spray

Directions

Prepare the Zucchini:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.

Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or sticks, depending on your preference.

Set Up the Breading Station:

In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.

Place the flour in a third shallow bowl.

Bread the Zucchini:

Dredge each zucchini piece in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Dip the floured zucchini into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Coat the zucchini in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Bake the Zucchini:

Place the breaded zucchini pieces on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them crisp up.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini is golden brown and crispy.

Serve:

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

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
