Crispy Baked Zucchini Chips (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 medium zucchinis

→ Breading

02 - 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
03 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Binding

09 - 2 large eggs
10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
11 - Cooking spray (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 220°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Wash and dry zucchinis, then slice into thin rounds approximately 3mm thick. Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness if available.
03 - In a medium bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
04 - In a separate bowl, beat eggs with olive oil until well combined.
05 - Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off. Then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for enhanced crispiness if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 3-5 minutes to allow chips to crisp further before serving.

# Notes:

01 - These chips are best enjoyed immediately after baking when they're at their crispiest.
