Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, or thyme)

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs, beaten

Olive oil spray or a drizzle of olive oil

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and slice the zucchinis into thin rounds. For a crisper texture, you can sprinkle the slices with salt and let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat them dry with paper towels.

      Create the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of seasoning.

        Egg Wash: In another bowl, whisk the two beaten eggs until well mixed.

          Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, coat the slice in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer.

            Spray for Crunch: Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini chips with olive oil spray. This will help them crisp up during baking.

              Bake: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip the chips halfway through to ensure even cooking.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will help them become even crisper. Serve them warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
