Get the zucchini ready. Begin by cleaning the zucchinis well. Slice them thinly or into sticks, as you like.
Season the zucchini: Put the zucchini slices or sticks in a big plastic bag. Put the olive oil in the bag, close it, and shake it softly to cover all the pieces evenly.
Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if you have it), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Put this mix into the plastic bag with the zucchini. Close the bag tightly and shake it thoroughly until all the zucchini pieces are covered with the breadcrumb mix.
Cook the zucchini: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the zucchini pieces coated with a thin layer in a single row. Cook in the oven for around 20 minutes, or until the zucchini turns golden and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy: After the zucchini is cooked just right, take it out of the oven and let it cool a bit before serving. These zucchini bites taste great by themselves or with your preferred dipping sauce.
Advice:
Change the Taste: Try using various spices and herbs to match your preferences. You can sprinkle a bit of chili powder for a spicy flavor or some Italian seasoning for a Mediterranean touch.
Healthy Option: This recipe provides a healthier choice compared to regular fried zucchini, using less oil but keeping all the taste. Also, cleaning up is very easy!
This simple zucchini recipe is great for a light snack, side dish, or a fun appetizer.
