Description

If you need a delicious way to use an excess of zucchini, then this is for you. These baked chips are full of flavor with just a little crunch. Even your pickiest eaters will love these. Try dipping them in ranch dressing or marinara sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 whole Zucchini
  • 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
  • ½ cups Shredded Parmesan Cheese
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Onion Powder
  • ⅛ teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • ⅓ cups Milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425° F. Brush a large oven-proof wire rack with olive oil and set on a baking sheet.

Cut the zucchini into 1/4″ slices. In a bowl, whisk together bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, onion powder, pepper and Italian seasoning. Place milk in a separate shallow bowl. Dip zucchini slices in milk then in breadcrumb mixture, patting the crumbs on. Place slices on the wire rack. Repeat until all are coated.

Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Whenever I bread – cutlets, eggplant, etc. I always dip in flour, shake, then in liquid-egg wash or milk then in breadcrumbs. I have used regular crumbs and a mixture of panko and regular.
If time permits letting breaded item sit in refrigerator for at least an hour helps, but it’s not mandatory.

I had the same issues the first time I made them. Since the panko is in larger crumbs than regular bread crumbs you do have to press them onto the zucchini a little bit. I’ll edit the recipe and add that to it. But this is one of my family’s favorite ways to use extra zucchini!

The breading was really good, but I had issues getting it to stick to the zucchini, and it got worse the farther into the dipping process I got as the crumb mixture soaked up more and more milk. It was my first time working with panko crumbs, maybe there’s a trick I don’t know about? These came out more steamed than crispy, but were tasty!

I could eat these every day of my life! I used both Panko breadcrumbs and fine Italian bread crumbs to really coat the chips. Delicious! Thanks for sharing!

I found that these were really easy to make, and I liked the idea of them, but I did find them too salty. I think next time I would make them with just 1/4 t of salt instead. Otherwise, great!

I just made these the other night (and will make them again tonight). I thought they were fantastic. The breading was great. I followed the suggestion from n8tivenyer in the comments and used flour first, then milk, then the breading which I pressed on a bit too. It worked great and the breading stuck really well.
The only disappointment was that they didn’t taste as great after they had cooled or when reheated. So these are great straight out of the oven (I ate quite a few of them standing at the oven) but my poor husband didn’t get the full joy by the time he sat down for dinner because he was running late.
