Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Chips

Ingredients

Fresh parsley

2 tablespoons, finely chopped

Olive oil

1/2 cup

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Breadcrumbs

1 cup

Parmesan cheese

1 cup, finely grated

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Zucchini

2 medium-sized, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
2. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch in thickness. Ensure uniformity for even baking.
3. Combine the garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and freshly ground black pepper in a shallow bowl.
4. Dip each zucchini slice first into the olive oil, ensuring a light, even coating. Follow by coating it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Arrange the coated zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overlapping to ensure proper crisping.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini chips turn a beautiful golden brown and crispy.
7. Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chips with fresh parsley for an added layer of flavor.
8. Serve immediately while still warm to enjoy the optimal texture and taste. They make a great snack on their own or a fantastic side dish for your main course.
