Description
Crispy, flavorful zucchini bites with a delicious garlic touch, perfect for snacks or appetizers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (regular or gluten-free)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for a vegan option)
- 2 large eggs (or flax eggs for a vegan substitute)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cooking spray or olive oil for baking
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and slice the zucchinis into small rounds and remove excess moisture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- In another bowl, crack the eggs and whisk. For a vegan version, prepare flax eggs instead.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the egg mixture and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve with marinara or yogurt dip. Pair with a salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
