Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish - optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to ensure the chips don't stick.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. For best results, try to keep them uniform in thickness.

      Set Up Breading Station: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

        Coat the Zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Place the coated zucchini chips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

          Spray and Bake: Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini chips with cooking spray or olive oil spray. This helps them become extra crispy. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chips are golden brown and crispy.

            Serving: Once the zucchini chips are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, like ranch or marinara.

              Enjoy: Dig in and savor the delightful crunch and cheesy flavor of these irresistible zucchini chips!
