Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick. Pat the slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

      Make the Egg Wash: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until well combined.

        Prepare the Coating: In a separate bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

          Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, transfer the slice to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated zucchini chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or spray with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to help them crisp up.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through baking for even crispiness.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the zucchini chips to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and enjoy!
