Description
Simple recipe for crispy baked zucchini coated in Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first dish. Beat the egg in the second dish. Mix the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in the third dish.
- Dip each zucchini slice first into the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Next, dip the floured slice into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off.
- Finally, press the slice into the Parmesan mixture to coat both sides evenly.
- Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the zucchini slices.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can bake them slightly longer at a lower temperature, around 375 degrees Fahrenheit, for about 25 minutes.
- You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour if desired.
