Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchini, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 large eggs, beaten

¼ cup all-purpose flour

Olive oil spray (or a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). To make cleanup easier, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Your Coating Stations: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. In a second bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful dry mix. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, mixing them to evenly distribute the cheese.

      Coat the Zucchini Slices:

        - Take each zucchini slice and first dip it into the flour mixture; be sure to shake off any excess flour.

          - Next, immerse the slice in the beaten egg, ensuring it's completely coated.

            - Finally, dredge the slice through the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to make sure the coating adheres well. Place each coated zucchini slice on the pre-prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly.

              Add Olive Oil: Lightly spray the coated zucchini slices with olive oil or drizzle a small amount of olive oil over them. This will help achieve a perfectly golden and crispy texture while baking.

                Roast the Zucchini: Place the baking sheet with the zucchini in the preheated oven and roast for approximately 20-25 minutes. Flip the slices halfway through the baking time to ensure they cook evenly, until they are beautifully golden brown and crisp.

                  Cool and Serve: Once the zucchini is done roasting, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Present the zucchini warm as a delightful appetizer, a crunchy side dish, or a satisfying snack. Enjoy this deliciously crispy treat!
