Baked Zucchini Bites Recipe
Our baked zucchini bites have a crispy crumb breading on the outside, but are perfectly cooked on the inside, making it our families' favorite way to eat zucchini.
Serving6 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 zucchini, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475℉.
- In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs.
- Dip zucchini slices into the eggs then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place coated zucchini slices on the greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 5 minutes, remove from oven and turn over each slice.
- Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes or until browned and crispy.
Notes
- The thinner you slice your zucchini, the crispier they will cook.
- You can use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese or the powdered grated Parmesan cheese - either will work. I have found that the powdered kind will usually stick to the zucchini better.
- We love to dip these bites in ranch dressing, but they are delicious without dip as well.
