Zucchini Parmesan Crisps - Be sure to click on the word Share to save this to your wall.

1 lb. zucchini or squash (about 2 medium-sized)
1/4 cup shredded parmesan (heaping)
1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs (heaping)
... 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with foil and spray lightly with vegetable spray.

Slice zucchini or squash into 1/4 inch-thick rounds. Toss rounds with oil, coating well.

In a wide bowl or plate, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, salt and pepper.

Place rounds in parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides of each round, pressing to adhere. The mixture will not completely cover each round, but provides a light coating on each side.

Place rounds in a single layer on baking sheets. Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumb mixture over the rounds.

Bake for about 22 to 27 minutes, until golden brown. (There is no need to flip them during baking -- they crisp up on both sides as is.)

    I made these last night, but they didn't "crisp". They tasted good though. I estimated about 170 calories total for 3/4 cup. Bread crumbs 55 calories (1/8 cup), Zuchinni in olive oil (1/2 cup) 60 calories, and 1/8 cup of parmessan cheese, 56 calories.

    Thanks for posting! If you need to cut the fat, you can substitute the olive oil with a beaten egg or egg whites. I also add a little bit of Mrs. Dash sundried tomato basil. Mmmmmmm

    Edited to add...
    Using a little over 1 cup zucchini slices, about half of a whole egg, 1/2 c panko, 2Tbsp. parmesan, and olive oil cooking spray on the pan, the total came to 224 calories, 29 carbs, 9 fat, 12 protein, 3 fiber. That made two decent servings, too. Not bad at all!

    I looked it up, because I was interested too. My math could be off somewhere, but this should be about right.

    - 1/4 cup shredded parmesan: 108c | 29g fat | 4g sat fat | 382mg sodium | 1g carb | 9.5g prot
    - 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs : 65c | 3g fat | 0g sat fat | 0mg sodium | 8g carb | 1g prot

    I make a variation of these using yellow squash or zucchini. I slice yellow squash and zucchini thin. I put corn meal in a tupperware container, put the slices in, close the container and shake it till they are covered. Then put them on a cookie sheet that I sprayed with Pam. I sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and garlic and then spray with Pam again. Bake at 450 for 20 min or more watching to make sure they don't burn. Hint: You want your slices to be uniform otherwise some will burn and some won't be cooked. Then, flip them over and cook some more. I like mine well done but not burnt. Otherwise they can be soggy. I dip them in ketchup, flavored mustard, etc... As for the calories, Its hard to calculate so I weigh the zucchini ahead of time and estimate how much cornmeal stuck to the chips and then figure out from there.

    bump. Thanks! I usually just put strips into fat free Italian dressing with extra garlic and herbs, or with olive oil and herbs then grill them. The Parmesan sounds great though!

    I make something similar to these. I coat my zucchini with Egg Beaters instead of olive oil, so the breading adheres better. I also crush up Italian flavored croutons, instead of Panko breadcrumbs, as the calories are better. Also add roasted garlic & Italian seasoning to my breading mixture. They're delicious!
