A simple recipe for baking zucchini slices until they are golden brown and crispy, avoiding a soggy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Place the zucchini slices in a colander and sprinkle with the salt. Let them sit for 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat the slices completely dry with paper towels. This step is important for crispiness.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss the dried zucchini slices with the olive oil until lightly coated.
  6. Dredge each oiled zucchini slice in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  7. Place the coated slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Do not overlap them.
  8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the zucchini slices.
  9. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the tops of the zucchini with cooking spray before adding the Parmesan.
  • Use a wire rack set inside the baking sheet if you want air circulation underneath the slices for even crisping.
  • Serve immediately after removing from the oven for the best texture.
