Ingredients

Flour Mixture

½ cup All-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
¼ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Pepper

Egg Mixture

2 Eggs Large

Breadcrumb Mixture

1 cup Breadcrumbs
⅓ cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
Salt To taste
Pepper To taste

Zucchini

2 Zucchinis Medium size, Washed, Patted dry, Cut into thin quarter inch circles

Instructions

Preheat a dark baking tray (without foil or parchment paper) that's been sprayed generously with oil at 400 degrees F.
In a Ziploc bag, add all the "Flour Mixture" ingredients and mix until combined.
In a second Ziploc bag, add eggs and whisk until combined.
In a third Ziploc bag, add all the "Breadcrumb Mixture" ingredients and mix until combined.
Coat the zucchini circles one by one in the flour mixture, then egg mixture, and then thickly coat them in the breadcrumb mixture. This should be done individually for each zucchini slice. Don't just dump them in the Ziploc bags!
Place these coated zucchinis on the heated baking tray. It will start sizzling right away, which helps to make them crispy.
Spray tops with oil.
Bake at 400 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Broil in the final 5 minutes to make the tops golden brown and crispy too.

Notes

Don't cut thick slices because they will end up becoming watery and soggy during baking.
Cut zucchini into even round sizes to allow them to all bake evenly at the same time.
This is probably one of the few times that I will tell you to NOT line the pan please. Just grease your pan with oil.
Also, please don't forget to preheat the pan before placing your breaded zucchinis for the best texture.
Try other seasonings like Cajun or Mexican for a different flavor profile.
Read additional tips and variations above.
Tastes best and crispy when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
