To achieve the best results with your Crispy Parmesan Baked Zucchini Chips, effective coating is essential. Start by ensuring that your zucchini slices are properly dried after washing. Excess moisture can hinder the adherence of the coating and lead to sogginess. A clean kitchen towel or paper towels can be used to pat the slices dry gently.

Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon paprika

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 large eggs

Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick) for optimal crispiness.

      Set Up Dipping Stations: In one bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. In another bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

        Coat the Zucchini Slices: Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, making sure it is well-coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off, then transfer the slice to the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere to both sides of the zucchini. Place each coated slice on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

          Spritz and Season: Once all the zucchini slices are coated, lightly spray or drizzle olive oil over them for additional crispiness.

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

              Cooling Time: Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the zucchini chips to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them become even crispier.

                Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your Crispy Parmesan Baked Zucchini Chips as a delightful appetizer or a healthy snack! Serve them with marinara sauce or your favorite dip for an extra flavor boost.
