Equipment

  • 1 large cookie sheet pan
  • parchment paper
  • 1 sharp knife to cut vegetables
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini sliced in 1/8” slices
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup Kikkoman Italian or regular Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • Spray foil or paper with olive oil cooking spray.
  • Slice zucchini in ¼” rounds.
  • Toss zucchini with olive oil in bowl, coating well.
  • (I actually dredged the zucchini pieces in the olive oil that sunk to the bottom of the bowl!)
  • Combine Italian Panko breadcrumbs, shredded Parmesan cheese (not the stuff in the can!), salt and pepper on a plate.
  • Place zucchini chips on plate and press coating on both sides of zucchini chips so coating adheres to the zucchini.
  • Do your best to coat zucchini slices well.
  • Place the rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumb mixture over top of the rounds.
  • Bake for 22-27 minutes, or until light golden brown. (See note).
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

NOTE: I cooked the zucchini about 45 minutes at 350°.
 
NOTE: If you can't locate Italian Panko bread crumbs, sprinkle a little Italian seasoning over top of the zucchini before baking.
