## Step-by-Step Instructions
1. **Preheat your oven** to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. **Mix the coating**: In a shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. **Prep the zucchini**: Lightly brush or spray both sides of the zucchini rounds with olive oil.
4. **Coat each slice**: Press each piece of zucchini into the Parmesan mixture until both sides are well coated. Shake off any excess.
5. **Arrange and bake**: Place the coated zucchini on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden and crisp.
6. **Serve hot**: Enjoy on their own or with dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or tzatziki.
## Tips for Crispy Zucchini Every Time
* **Use panko** instead of regular breadcrumbs for a lighter, crunchier texture.
* **Don’t crowd the pan** — give each slice space so they crisp instead of steam.
* **Add variety** by mixing in a touch of paprika, cayenne, or lemon zest to the coating.
## Optional Air Fryer Method
Want to make it even faster? Cook the coated zucchini rounds in an air fryer at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway. They’ll come out extra crispy with less oil!
