Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon lemon zest (about 1 lemon)

2 teaspoons dried dill weed

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Olive oil spray (for baking)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut each zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Make sure to slice evenly so they cook uniformly.

      Make the Breading Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, dill weed, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

        Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice until they are well combined.

          Coat the Zucchini Slices: Dip each zucchini slice into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly covered. Place the coated slices on the prepared baking sheet.

            Spray and Bake: Lightly spray the top of the zucchini slices with olive oil to promote browning. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Once they're done, remove them from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish, drizzled with extra lemon juice if desired.
