Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F and coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

Mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder and salt in a shallow bowl.

Whisk the egg in a separate bowl.

Place the flour in a third bowl.

Make an assembly line with the bowls, and first dip the zucchini coins into the flour, then the egg and finally into the bread crumb mixture, coating evenly and repeating with all the zucchini coins.

Place all of the zucchini coins on the baking sheet. Arrange so they’re not touching, spray with cooking oil and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden.

Serve as a side dish or on their own with favorite dipping sauces.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Salt Your Zucchini Early 🧂
Slice zucchini and salt both sides generously 15-20 minutes before breading to draw out excess moisture, ensuring crispy results instead of soggy centers.
Triple-Dredge for Maximum Crunch 🥖
Create a seasoned flour mixture, dip in beaten egg, then coat in a breadcrumb-parmesan blend mixed with a pinch of garlic powder for superior texture and flavor.
Arrange on Wire Racks 🔲
Place breaded slices on a wire rack set over a baking sheet rather than directly on the sheet to allow air circulation underneath for even, all-around crispiness.
Spray Both Sides Strategically 💨
Use olive oil spray on both the top and bottom of each slice, then flip halfway through baking to achieve golden-brown crispness on all surfaces without deep frying.
Cool Slightly Before Serving 🧊
Let baked slices rest for 2-3 minutes after removing from the oven to allow the breading to set and maintain its crunch when served warm.
