Baked Zucchini Coins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole-wheat panko bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch circles
• Olive- or canola-oil spray
• Marinara sauce for dipping, optional

Make It

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2. Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk the egg in a second bowl and place the flour in a third bowl.
3. Make an assembly line with the bowls. Dip the zucchini circles first into the flour, then the egg, and finally the bread-crumb mixture, coating them evenly.
4. Place on a baking rack set over a baking sheet and spray with oil. Pop into the oven for 20 minutes, or until bread crumbs are golden. Serve with marinara sauce if desired.
