ZUCCHINI PARMESAN CRISP

Zucchini Parmesan Crisp is a delicious dish made from zucchini (also known as courgette) that’s coated in a crispy, flavorful Parmesan cheese and breadcrumb mixture and then baked until golden brown and crispy. It’s a popular side dish or appetizer that’s both tasty and relatively healthy since it’s baked rather than fried. Here’s a basic recipe to make Zucchini Parmesan Crisps:

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized zucchinis
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (you can use regular or panko breadcrumbs)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 large eggs
• Olive oil (for greasing the baking sheet)
• Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or use a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. This mixture will be used to coat the zucchini slices.
  3. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
  4. Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds. You can choose to leave the skin on or peel the zucchinis, depending on your preference.
  5. Take each zucchini slice and dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  6. Next, coat the zucchini slice with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing down gently to make sure it adheres.
  7. Place the coated zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each slice.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the zucchini slices are golden brown and crisp.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

  You can serve Zucchini Parmesan Crisps as a side dish with marinara sauce for dipping, or as a tasty appetizer. It’s a great way to enjoy the flavors of zucchini and Parmesan in a crunchy and satisfying form.
