We really like fried zucchini, but I've been trying to cut back on the amount of fat and sugars in our diet. So, I've come up with a way to oven fry our zucchini and still make it very tasty.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees, and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray
2 medium or 3 small zucchini, (about 1 pound)
1 Tabs olive oil
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1/2 teas garlic powder
1/8 teas salt
1/4 teas black pepper
Slice your zucchini in 1/4 inch thick rounds
In a plastic zip top bag, put the zucchini slices and olive oil, Massage the oil over the zucchini slices
In a bowl combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip the zucchini slices into bread crumb/cheese mixture, coating zucchini slices well on both sides.
Place the coated zucchini slices on baking sheet, in a single layer.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until browned and crisp. Remove with a spatula - they will be hot!!
Serve immediately - these go great with ranch dressing or marina sauce!! And your family won't miss the grease that you usually get with the deep fried zucchini, so you can serve them more often. YUMMY.
