Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Olive oil spray (or enough oil for frying)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Dipping Stations: Set up a three-part breading station:

      - In the first shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.

        - In the second bowl, beat the eggs.

          - In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, and a bit more salt and pepper.

            Bread the Zucchini: Take each zucchini round, first dip it into the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any extra to drip off. Finally, coat it in the panko-Parmesan mix, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Place the breaded zucchini onto the prepared baking sheet.

              Spray with Olive Oil: Once all the zucchini slices are breaded, lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray. This will help them crisp up perfectly in the oven.

                Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini is golden brown and crispy.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Crispy Parmesan Crusted Zucchini warm, perhaps with a side of marinara sauce or a creamy dipping sauce.
