Ingredients

Scale

2 medium zucchinis (sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds), 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup oats, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, salt and pepper to taste, 1 egg (beaten), olive oil for frying

Instructions

  • Prepare Zucchini: Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

  • Prepare Breading Mixture: In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, oats, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Prepare Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a separate bowl.

  • Bread Zucchini Rounds: Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to help it stick.

  • Fry Zucchini Rounds: Heat about 1/2 inch of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry zucchini rounds in batches until golden and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.

  • Drain Excess Oil: Transfer fried zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any extra oil.

 

  • Serve: Enjoy hot as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Serve with your favorite dip if desired.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, bake the zucchini rounds at 425°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  • Serve with marinara sauce or garlic aioli for dipping.

 

  • Substitute oats with crushed cornflakes or almond flour for a different texture
