These Crispy Zucchini Parmesan Crisps are a quick, easy, and delicious snack featuring golden, cheesy zucchini slices baked to perfection and served with a warm marinara dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil spray or light vegetable oil for crisping
  • Marinara sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top if available.
  2. Wash and slice zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds, keeping slices even for uniform cooking.
  3. Prepare three bowls: one with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, one with 2 beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried Italian herbs, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Dip each zucchini slice first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating. Place coated slices on the wire rack or baking sheet.
  5. Lightly spray or brush the coated zucchini slices with olive oil.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  7. Warm the marinara sauce gently on the stove or microwave while the crisps bake.
  8. Serve the zucchini crisps immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Pat zucchini slices dry before coating to prevent sogginess. Use a wire rack on the baking sheet for even crispiness. Lightly spray oil instead of drenching to avoid greasy crisps. Flip crisps halfway through baking for even browning. Reheat leftovers in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes to regain crunch; avoid microwaving.
