Zucchini Parmesan Crisps
Description
This recipe calls for medium green and golden zucchini sliced into 1/4-inch rounds. Each slice is dipped first into buttermilk to moisten, then coated with a mixture of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper. The coated slices are arranged in a single layer on an oiled baking sheet and baked at 450°F for about 20 minutes, then flipped and baked for an additional 4-5 minutes to achieve even crispiness and golden coloring.
The fry sauce combines mayonnaise and ketchup whisked together with hot sauce added for heat, providing a creamy and tangy dip that complements the crispy zucchini. Baking rather than frying yields a lighter texture while preserving crunch and flavor.
The recipe allows adjusting the fry sauce ratios or adding ingredients like Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, pickle juice, or spices to customize the dip intensity.
Ingredients
- 2-3 zucchini medium (one green and one golden
- olive oil
- 1/3 cup bread crumbs dry, Italian seasoned
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese grated

- black pepper fresh cracked pepper
- 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray, or brush it on.

- Prepare two bolws for dipping. In one bowl toss the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and a little salt and pepper. In the other bowl, add the buttermilk.
- Using one hand for wet and one hand for the dry, dip each zucchini into the buttermilk, and then into the breadcrumbs, turning to coat well.
- Place the zucchini on your sprayed baking sheet in a single layer. I like to spritz the tops with a light spray of olive oil, but that's optional.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, then flip and bake for about 4-5 minutes more.
- Serve hot with the fry sauce for dipping.
to make the fry sauce

Notes
- Adjust the mayo-to-ketchup ratio in the fry sauce to suit personal taste preferences.
