Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Rounds: A Crunchy Delight!

These zucchini rounds are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Variations:

Add herbs: Sprinkle some fresh basil or thyme for added flavor.

Spicy version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a kick.

Cheese variation: Use a mix of Parmesan and mozzarella for an extra cheesy coating.

FAQ:

Can I use frozen zucchini for this recipe? It’s best to use fresh zucchini for the crispiest texture, but if you must use frozen zucchini, ensure they are fully thawed and patted dry.

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the zucchini rounds and refrigerate them for up to 4 hours before baking. Just bake them fresh when you’re ready to serve.

Can I fry these instead of baking? Yes! You can fry them in a shallow pan with oil for a golden, crispy exterior, but baking is a healthier option with less oil.

These Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Rounds are a delicious, crunchy treat with all the flavor of a classic snack, but without the guilt. Enjoy them as an appetizer, side dish, or healthy snack!
