Oven Baked Zucchini Bites

It’s peak garden season, so pick those zucchinis and bring them straight to the kitchen for a snack! These crunchy treats are so good with sour cream or ranch dressing, and you can even add your choice of seasoning to personalize.

Ingredients

1 large zucchini

1 large egg

1/8 cup whole milk

1 cup plain bread crumbs

1/4 cup dry Italian dressing mix

Parmesan cheese

Salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Cut a large zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
3. Blanch in boiling water for five minutes and then strain.
4. Place on a heavy dish towel to drain more while you remove the seeds.
5. In a bowl, mix the egg and whole milk.
6. Add the zucchini bites to the egg batter.
7. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs and dry Italian dressing mix.
8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the zucchini from the egg batter to the breadcrumb mixture. Coat the zucchini well. You can also toss them in a ziplock bag for easy coating.
10. Spread the breaded zucchini bites on the parchment paper and bake for 20-30 minutes (till they reach your desired crispness).
11. Add parmesan cheese after baking and salt to taste. Then enjoy!
