Parmesan zucchini strips

Parmesan zucchini strips are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried snacks. This recipe is simple to make and perfect for a quick appetizer or a nutritious side dish. With just a few ingredients, you can create a crispy, cheesy treat that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup bread crumbs
40g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g
4 zucchini
470g
1 egg
60g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchinis thoroughly.
- Cut off both ends of each zucchini.
- Slice the zucchinis into strips that are about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Prepare the Breading Station:
- In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
- In another shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg.
4. Bread the Zucchini Strips:
- Dip each zucchini strip into the beaten egg, making sure to coat all sides.
- Next, dredge the egg-coated zucchini strip in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture. Press gently to adhere the crumbs to the zucchini. Repeat with the remaining zucchini strips.
5. Bake:
- Arrange the breaded zucchini strips in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching to allow even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the zucchini strips are golden brown and crispy. You can flip them halfway through baking to ensure both sides are evenly browned.
6. Serve:
- Remove the zucchini strips from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy them warm.

Tips:

- Choose firm, fresh zucchinis for the best texture and flavor.

- Make sure to coat the zucchini strips evenly with the egg mixture and bread crumb mixture to ensure crispiness.

- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.

- For an extra crunch, try adding panko breadcrumbs to the mixture.

- Serve the zucchini strips with a marinara sauce or a garlic aioli for added flavor.
