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)

Moisture Management 💧
Pat zucchini slices completely dry with paper towels and salt them 15 minutes before breading to draw out excess moisture, ensuring crispy results instead of soggy centers.
Double-Dredge Technique 🥘
Create a flour-egg-breadcrumb coating by dipping each slice in flour first, then egg, then a mixture of breadcrumbs and parmesan for maximum crunch and better adhesion.
Uniform Thickness Matters ✂️
Slice zucchini to consistent ¼-inch thickness using a mandoline or knife to ensure even baking and consistent texture throughout all pieces.
Strategic Oil Placement 🎯
Spray the baking sheet and the tops of breaded slices generously with olive oil spray to achieve golden-brown, crispy edges without deep frying.
Optimal Oven Temperature ⏲️
Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes on the middle rack for perfectly crispy exteriors and tender interiors—higher heat crisps the coating before the zucchini becomes soft.
