For the Crunchy Parmesan Zucchini Bites

2 medium zucchinis Fresh zucchinis bring a lovely crunch and a subtle flavor.
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese This adds a rich, savory kick that makes these bites addictive.
1 cup breadcrumbs Whole wheat or gluten-free work perfectly for a delicious coating.
2 large eggs These help bind everything together for that perfect crunch.
1 tsp garlic powder A staple that brings out the flavors beautifully.
1 tsp onion powder Adds a gentle sweetness and depth to the bites.
½ tsp paprika For a slight smokiness and a pop of color.
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Wash and dry zucchinis well. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices or sticks.
Step 3: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
Step 6: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

These bites are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
