Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside — these Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Bites are the healthy snack you’ll actually crave. A golden parmesan-herb crust gives every bite the perfect crunch without any frying.
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Marinara or ranch, for dipping
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Coat: Mix Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dip zucchini rounds in beaten egg, then press into the coating.
- Bake: Arrange on the baking sheet and bake 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Serve hot with marinara or ranch for dipping.
Pro tip: Pat the zucchini dry before coating — less moisture means a crispier crust that actually sticks.
