Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Rounds
Uniform Slicing: Ensure the zucchini is sliced evenly so all pieces cook at the same rate.
Don’t Overcrowd: Space the rounds out to allow air circulation, which is key for crispiness.
Use Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and adds more robust flavor.
Make it Gluten-Free: Substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
Serving Suggestions
Appetizer Platter: Pair with marinara or garlic aioli for dipping.
Side Dish: Perfect alongside grilled chicken, fish, or pasta.
Snack Time: Serve warm with a squeeze of lemon for a fresh twist.

Q: How do I store leftovers?
A: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
Q: Can I use other cheeses?
A: Yes, Pecorino Romano or a Parmesan-Romano blend works well, but avoid softer cheeses which don’t crisp up as nicely.
Q: Are these rounds keto-friendly?
