Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (Italian-style if possible)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray (for baking)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. For extra crispiness, you can also sprinkle them lightly with salt and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. This will draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry with paper towels.

      Make the Coating Mixture: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, seasoned breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the seasonings.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. This will help the coating stick to the zucchini.

          Coat the Zucchini Chips: Dip each zucchini slice first into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated zucchini chips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

            Add Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the zucchini chips or spray them with cooking spray to help them achieve a golden color while baking.

              Bake the Chips: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even crispiness.

                Serve: Once baked, remove the zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy them as a delicious snack, appetizer, or side dish!
