Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch coins
  • 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • For the garlic aioli:
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 large garlic clove, finely minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick coins, keeping slices uniform for even roasting.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine grated parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
  4. Drizzle olive oil over the zucchini coins and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Press each zucchini coin into the parmesan-panko mixture, coating both sides. Place on the lined baking sheet in a single layer with space between each.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through (about 8-10 minutes), until both sides are crisp and golden.
  7. While zucchini roasts, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to make the garlic aioli.
  8. Serve zucchini coins warm with garlic aioli on the side.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to avoid steaming the zucchini. Use freshly grated parmesan for best crust. Flip zucchini halfway through baking for even crispness. Garlic aioli is best fresh but can be refrigerated up to 2 days. Reheat zucchini in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes to refresh crispness.
