🌿 Introduction

Zucchini is one of those humble vegetables that transforms beautifully when baked or air-fried. When combined with savory Parmesan, crunchy panko (or oats), and aromatic herbs, it becomes an irresistible treat. This recipe is perfect when you want something crispy without deep frying — light, wholesome, and satisfying.

🛒 Ingredients

2 medium zucchinis, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch or oats for a healthier twist)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 egg (beaten) or olive oil spray (optional, for binding)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) or preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the zucchinis, then slice them into even rounds.
In a bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs (or oats), oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten egg (or lightly spray with olive oil).
Coat each round generously in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
Arrange the zucchini rounds in a single layer on a lined baking tray or air fryer basket.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Air fryer: 10–12 minutes, shaking once.
