Zucchini Parmesan Crisps
Perfectly golden brown parmesan-crusted zucchini slices (to use up all that summer zucchini!). So crispy, so good!
What do you do with all that summer zucchini just waiting to be used up? Well, we’re going to slice them up real nice, coat them in a Panko-Parm mixture, and cook them until they’re wonderfully crisp and golden brown.
It’s a very sneaky snack/appetizer/side dish situation, and you’ll be consuming all that zucchini in no time.
It’s one of my favorite summer dishes, especially when dipped in Ranch. And even the pickiest eaters will be fighting for these!

ZUCCHINI PARMESAN CRISPS: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb and can be found in the Asian section of your local grocery store. While both Panko and breadcrumbs can both be used as a coating for fried foods, Panko is much more flakier and yields a crunchier, crispier texture.
You’ll want to cut your zucchini into even slices, keeping your oil nice and hot, and space them apart when cooking. This will yield the crispiest zucchini slices!
You can serve these with your favorite dipping sauce like Ranch or marinara sauce.
