Ah, you mean Parmesan zucchini! 🥒🧀 This is a super simple, crispy, cheesy zucchini dish. Here’s a quick way to make it:
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- ÂĽ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ÂĽ cup breadcrumbs (optional for extra crunch)
- 1–2 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prep the zucchini
- Wash and slice the zucchini into thin rounds or sticks.
- Season
- In a bowl, mix zucchini with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional spices.
- Coat with Parmesan
- Sprinkle Parmesan (and breadcrumbs, if using) over the zucchini, tossing lightly so it sticks.
- Cook
Option 1: Oven (crispier)- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place zucchini on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Option 2: Skillet (faster)
- Heat a bit of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook zucchini 3–4 minutes per side until golden and tender.
- Serve
- Eat hot as a side, snack, or even as a topping for pasta or salads.
If you want, I can give a super crispy “Parmesan zucchini fries” version that tastes like a healthier fast-food snack.
