Make this easy baked Parmesan zucchini recipe for a quick, crispy, and cheesy side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or as a healthy appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the zucchini and slice them into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Pat the slices very dry with paper towels. This step helps achieve crispiness.
  3. Prepare the dredging stations. In one shallow bowl, whisk the egg and water together. In a second shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder.
  4. Dip each zucchini round first into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
  5. Next, press the zucchini firmly into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides completely.
  6. Place the coated zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not let them touch.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately as a low-carb zucchini side or snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly spray the coated zucchini with cooking spray before baking.
  • If you prefer sticks instead of rounds, cut the zucchini lengthwise into spears before coating.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free if you substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend.
