Zucchini Parmesan Crisps by Ellie Krieger

Makes 4 servings; Cook time: 50 minutes

What You’ll Need:
Cooking spray
2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound total)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (3/4 ounce)
1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

What You’ll Do:

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

STEP 2: Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini with oil.




STEP 3: In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt and a few turns of pepper. Dip each round into the Parmesan mixture, coating it evenly on both sides, pressing the coating on to stick.




STEP 4: Place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the zucchini rounds until browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove with spatula, serve immediately and snack away!
