Oven-Fried Parmesan Zucchini Chips

(adapted from Cooking Light)

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

*1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

**1/3 cup milk

2 small zucchini 

Cooking spray or vegetable/olive oil

*I added garlic powder... I thought it was a nice addition.

** I only had whipping cream on hand, so I used it instead and it made a nice, thick coating

1. Preheat oven to 425° F. Grease a large oven-proof wire rack set on a baking sheet.

2. Mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a medium bowl.  Place milk in a separate bowl. 

3. Slice zucchini. 

4. Dip slices in milk then in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the zucchini in the crumb mixture to insure a decent crumb coating. 

5. Place slices on wire rack. Repeat until all are coated.

3. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately. 

Enjoy!
