Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, thyme)

½ teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for optional garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Rinse the zucchinis thoroughly under cool water, then pat them dry with a clean towel. Slice each zucchini into ¼-inch thick rounds. If you prefer, you can cut them into thin strips for a different texture and presentation.

      Create the Coating Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper until well blended.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until frothy. Add the olive oil to the eggs and whisk again until the mixture is smooth and combined.

          Coat the Zucchini Slices: Take each zucchini slice and dip it into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently shake off any excess, then transfer the slice to the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly on the breadcrumb mixture to ensure it adheres well. Arrange the coated zucchini chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each slice.

            Bake the Chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini chips are golden brown and crispy. For even browning, flip the chips halfway through the baking time.

              Cool and Serve: After baking, carefully remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. For a fresh touch, sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Golden Parmesan Zucchini Chips as a deliciously crunchy snack or a delightful side dish!
