Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. You want them to be uniform for even cooking.

      Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs. In a second shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

        Bread the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres well. Place the coated zucchini chips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

          Spray for Crispiness: Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini chips with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to promote crisping as they bake.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them toward the end to prevent burning.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the zucchini chips cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve warm as a delicious snack or side dish, perhaps with a side of marinara sauce for dipping!
