- Arrange and Coat the Zucchini
Place the zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray or brush the tops with olive oil.
Spoon the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture on top of each round, gently pressing it down to help it stick.
- Bake to Perfection
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the coating is golden and crisp.
For an extra crunchy finish, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end—but keep a close eye to avoid burning.
- Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
Tips for Success
Uniform Slicing: Ensure the zucchini is sliced evenly so all pieces cook at the same rate.
Don’t Overcrowd: Space the rounds out to allow air circulation, which is key for crispiness.
Use Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and adds more robust flavor.
Make it Gluten-Free: Substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
