Oven Fried Zucchini Chips


It is hard to believe that these are good for you. They are so addicting and perfect by themselves or dipping in ranch. I even got my picky fiance, who hates zucchini, to like them. Looks like this dish will be a new normal around the house. This simple recipe calls for zucchini, Italian breadcrumbs, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, salt, flour, and milk. 


Start by cutting your zucchini into slices about one half inch in thickness or smaller.


Cover each piece in flour.


Dip it into the milk.


And finally, cover the zucchini in the breadcrumbs. If you can, try and pack down the breadcrumbs on both sides as much as you can. I added parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt to my Italian breadcrumbs. 


Place the zucchini on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. I like to spray just a little bit of cooking spray on top of them as well to give it an extra crunch. Place in a 425 degree oven and cook for 30 minutes. Watch for the tops to turn to a golden brown.


Enjoy by itself, with ranch, or with whatever sauce your heart desires.



Recipe:

Ingredients
1 large zucchini or 2 small ones
1 1/2 cups of Italian breadcrumbs
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
1 teaspoons of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of flour
1/3 cup of milk



Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Cut your zucchini in slices of one half inch in thickness or smaller. 
  3. Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, and garlic powder.
  4. Dip zucchini in flour, then to milk, then to breadcrumbs. Pack down as much breadcrumbs onto the zucchini slice as you can. Place on baking sheet. Repeat until all of the zucchini is covered.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
