Garlic Zucchini Chips Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Serving Size: 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchini rounds, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (you can use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray to prevent sticking. - Prepare the Zucchini:
Wash and dry the zucchini. Thinly slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds. The sliced zucchini should be combined in a sizable mixing basin. - Make the Coating:
In a separate bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. The components should be evenly distributed after mixing. - Coat the Zucchini:
Take each zucchini round and dip it into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating. Place the coated zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. - Bake the Zucchini Chips:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy. You may need to flip them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness. - Serve:
Once the zucchini chips are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. As a delightful snack or starter, serve them warm.
