Zucchini Parmesan Crisps

Ingredients:
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 medium zucchini (about 1 pound total,  sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (3/4-ounce)
  • 1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.  Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini with the oil.  In a small bowl, combine the parmesan, bread crumbs, salt, and a few turns of pepper.  Dip each round into the parmesan mixture, coating it evenly on both sides, pressing the coating on to stick, and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake the zucchini rounds until browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove with spatula. Serve immediately.  Great with Ranch dressing.  (for Anna)
