Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into rounds
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 tbsp dried Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
• Your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Dip each zucchini round in the beaten eggs, ensuring both sides are coated.
4. Press each egg-coated zucchini round into the Parmesan mixture, covering both sides with the cheese and breadcrumb mixture.
5. Place the coated zucchini rounds onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
6. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini bites are golden and crispy.
7. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.
8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Helpful Tips:

• For extra crispiness, let the breaded zucchini sit for 5 minutes before baking.
• If you prefer a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Parmesan mixture.

Storage Instructions:

Store any leftover zucchini bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes to regain their crispiness.

Pairings:

These Parmesan Zucchini Bites pair wonderfully with a fresh garden salad or alongside grilled chicken for a wholesome meal. Serve with a refreshing iced tea or a light lemonade to complement their flavors.
