These zucchini chips are a fantastic snack or summer side dish. Coated with a Parmesan, basil and panko breading, these baked chips crisp up to perfection in a hot oven.

Ingredients

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 each medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-in. rounds
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°. Add first 5 ingredients to a food processor; pulse until mixture resembles fine crumbs, 10 to 15 seconds. Add mixture to medium bowl.
Toss zucchini in oil; coat zucchini 1 piece at a time in breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Place zucchini in a single layer on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve immediately.

These zucchini chips are easy to make and much healthier than a bag of chips. They're great along with anything you put on the grill. —Tonya Burkhard, Palm Coast, Florida
