Crispy Parmesan Zucchini (Printable Recipe Version)
Crispy rounds of zucchini coated in Parmesan and seasoned perfectly. The texture is crunchy on the outside, but soft and flavorful within. Great snack or side option!
# Ingredients You’ll Need:
01 -
3 zucchinis, medium-sized, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces.
02 -
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional).
03 -
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional).
04 -
1/2 cup Parmesan, finely grated.
05 -
1 teaspoon onion powder.
06 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder.
07 -
Salt and pepper, adjusted to your taste.
08 -
2 tablespoons of melted butter or olive oil.

Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for sprinkling).
# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Rinse thoroughly and pat completely dry. Slice into rounds no thicker than 1/2 inch. Keep slices even for consistent cooking.
02 -
Set oven to 425°F. Cover your baking tray with parchment for easy cleanup.
03 -
Combine Parmesan, all seasonings, and breadcrumbs (if you're using them). Mix well so it’s evenly blended.
04 -
Lay zucchini rounds side by side on the tray. Brush tops with butter or olive oil. Sprinkle each piece with the coating and press gently so it sticks.
05 -
Bake until golden, about 10-15 minutes. For an extra crunch, broil for an additional minute or two. Let cool a bit, then sprinkle parsley if desired.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Dry zucchini slices really well so they roast better.
02 -
Keep slices the same thickness to avoid uneven cooking.
03 -
They’re best enjoyed right away while crispy.
