Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450°F and put parchment paper on baking sheet. Slice the zucchini into ¼" thick chips.
  • In a bowl toss sliced zucchini in olive oil so that all are coated. In another bowl combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt and pepper.
  • Place zucchini on parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over the zucchini the gently press down so the mixture will stick.
  • Bake zucchini chips for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline to get consistently sliced zucchini. If you don't have one a sharp knife will work.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan. Never buy pre-shredded Parmesan cheese as it contains wood pulp. Blocks of Parmesan cheese are also cheaper.
  • Add ½ of garlic powder to breadcrumb mixture if you want some additional flavor.
