Ingredients
To prepare this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
- 1/4 cup oats (optional for additional texture)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Zucchini
Start by washing the zucchinis thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
Pat the slices dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the coating stick better and prevents sogginess.
2. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
3. Prepare the Crispy Coating
