Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchini

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp salt (or to taste)

½ tsp black pepper

2 large eggs

Olive oil spray (or regular olive oil)

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, e.g., parsley or basil)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchini. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Try to keep the slices as uniform as possible for even cooking.

      Season the Coating: In a medium bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are fully beaten and frothy.

          Breading the Zucchini:

            - Dip each zucchini slice first into the egg wash, coating it well.

              - Then, dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well to the zucchini.

                - Place the breaded slices on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

                  Spray with Olive Oil: Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini chips with olive oil spray. This step helps them achieve a golden, crispy texture while baking.

                    Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, flipping the chips halfway through for even browning. Keep an eye on them toward the end for desired crispiness.

                      Cool and Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the zucchini chips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately for the best crunch!
