Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Soak the Squash
Place the squash rounds in a bowl and pour over the buttermilk. Let them soak for about 10 minutes while you prepare the breading.
Step 3: Prepare the Breading
In a shallow bowl, mix together the cornmeal, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Bread the Squash
Take each squash round out of the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off. Coat both sides in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5: Arrange & Spray
Arrange the coated squash rounds in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil or cooking spray to help them crisp as they bake.
Step 6: Bake Until Golden
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy at the edges.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy
Serve hot from the oven, paired with ranch, spicy ketchup, or any dipping sauce you love.
