Ingredients
  

1 cup zucchini, finely grated

1 cup carrots, finely grated

1 cup yellow squash, finely grated

1 cup cauliflower, finely grated

2 cups breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat or panko for extra crunch)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Olive oil spray

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrots, yellow squash, and cauliflower. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated vegetables to ensure your discs are crispy.

      Mix Ingredients: To the bowl with the vegetables, add breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be sticky but manageable.

        Shape the Discs: Using your hands, take a handful of the mixture and form it into discs approximately 2 inches in diameter and ½ inch thick. Place the shaped discs onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

          Spray for Crispiness: Lightly spray the tops of the discs with olive oil spray. This will help them become golden and crispy while baking.

            Bake: Bake the veggie discs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and firm to the touch.

              Serve and Garnish: Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.

                Enjoy!: These Crispy Baked Veggie Parmesan Discs can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or even as part of a main dish alongside a fresh salad!
