Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Zucchini with Parmesan Breadcrumbs.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab an 8-inch or 9-inch round pie dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to keep your delicious creation from sticking.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the star of the show: the zucchini! Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, aiming for about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Step 4
Arrange these lovely green slices in a beautiful circular pattern, beginning at the outer edge of the dish and working your way toward the center.
Step 5
This not only looks stunning but also ensures every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 6
In a mixing bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, paprika, panko breadcrumbs, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 7
This flavorful blend will elevate your dish! Drizzle in some extra-virgin olive oil and stir until the breadcrumbs are nicely coated, creating a delightful topping.
Step 8
Now, sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over your arranged zucchini slices, making sure to fill in all the gaps and cover the zucchini generously.
Step 9
It’s all about that crispy goodness! Once you’ve done that, pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
Step 10
Keep an eye on it until the breadcrumbs turn a lovely golden brown and the zucchini becomes tender.
Step 11
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a delicious, comforting dish ready to enjoy!.
