Crispy Baked Zucchini Rounds: A Guilt-Free Crunch

ADVERTISEMENT

Serve these crispy rounds hot as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce—yogurt dip, marinara, or garlic aioli all pair well. If storing, place cooled rounds in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.

Variations:

Add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper to the coating for heat.

Substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.

Use an air fryer instead of baking for extra crispiness with less oil.

Mix in fresh herbs like chopped parsley or basil for added flavor.

FAQ:
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or certified gluten-free oats and flour alternatives.

Can I use yellow squash instead of zucchini?
Absolutely. Yellow squash works the same way and offers a similar flavor.

Do I need to peel the zucchini?
No, the skin is thin and nutritious, and it crisps nicely when baked.

Can I freeze them?
These are best eaten fresh, but you can freeze after baking. Reheat in the oven for best results.

What dip goes well with these?
Try marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a lemony yogurt dip for a refreshing contrast.
