Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (use almond flour for a low-carb option)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Olive oil or cooking spray (for baking)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or heat a large skillet over medium heat if pan-frying.
- Mix the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the Parmesan mixture.
- For Baking: Arrange the coated zucchini slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through. For Pan-Frying: Add a little olive oil to the skillet. Fry each slice for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
