Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini Rounds
  • 2 medium zucchini sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated for best flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
  4. Dip each zucchini round into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated rounds on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Once all zucchini rounds are coated, spray them lightly with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy zucchini rounds with your favorite dipping sauce!

Notes

For added flavor, consider sprinkling some crushed red pepper flakes into the breadcrumb mixture. You can also serve these rounds with marinara sauce or a yogurt dip for a refreshing contrast.
