Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 as needed olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare three dipping stations: Place the flour into a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, whisk the eggs. In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Dip each zucchini slice into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Arrange the coated zucchini slices onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 6

Lightly spray the zucchini slices with olive oil to enhance crispiness.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini coins are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy the zucchini coins with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch, if desired.
