How to make Baked Zucchini Bites:

1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
2. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and pepper.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs.
4. Dip zucchini slices into the eggs then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Place coated zucchini slices on the greased baking sheet.
6. Bake for 5 minutes, remove from oven and turn over each slice.
7. Return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes or until browned and crispy.
8. If desired, serve with ranch dressing.

Which Parmesan cheese do you use?

You can use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese or the powdered grated Parmesan cheese – either will work!

I have found that the powdered kind will usually stick to the zucchini better.

We love to dip these in Ranch dressing, but they are good without dip as well!

The thinner you slice your zucchini, the crispier they cook.
