Zucchini Parmesan Crisps
Introducing Zucchini Parmesan Crisps—a side dish so tasty, it makes eating your veggies a breeze.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1½ cups grated Parmesan
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚. Line a large baking sheet (or 2 smaller sheets) with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Slice zucchini (with skin on) into thin rounds.
- Generously sprinkle ¾ of Parmesan evenly over parchment paper. Place zucchini rounds on top of Parm in a single layer. Mist zucchini tops with oil spray (*IMPORTANT NOTE: Hold spray bottle high over baking sheet to avoid a Parmesan snowstorm).
- Sprinkle remaining Parm over misted zucchini tops. Sprinkle on garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper. Roast in oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until cheese is browned and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Lift edges of crispy parm, break into pieces and enjoy!

Would it be possible to substitute cucumber slices for zucchini?
Hi Susan. Cucumbers have a higher water content and will likely yield a mushier consistency. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this swap for this recipe. But definitely try this recipe when you zucchini in the house—and let us know what you think! You can also try it with carrots. Hoping you love them as much as we do!

Hi June. Totally agree—this recipe is super addictive! So glad you’re enjoying it as much as we all do 🙂
