Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0 olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil spray.
Step 2
Wash and dry the zucchini. Slice into 1/4-inch thick coins and set aside.
Step 3
In a shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 4
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 5
Dip each zucchini coin into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl. Then coat the coin in the Parmesan-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating on all sides.
Step 6
Place the coated zucchini coins in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Step 7
Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini coins with olive oil for extra crispness.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini coins are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara.
