Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 22–27 minutes
Ingredients
1 lb zucchini (about 2 medium)
¼ cup shredded Parmesan (heaping)
¼ cup Panko breadcrumbs (heaping)
2 tablespoons Lesley Elizabeth Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat the Oven: Preheat to 400°F. Line two baking sheets with foil and spray lightly with vegetable spray.
Coat the Zucchini: Slice zucchini into ¼-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds and Lesley Elizabeth Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Oil in a recloseable plastic bag; toss until every piece is well coated.
Bread the Rounds: Combine Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Place zucchini rounds in the mixture, coating both sides of each piece and pressing gently to help it adhere.
Arrange & Bake: Place rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle any remaining breadcrumb mixture over the top. Bake for 22 to 27 minutes until golden brown and crispy (no need to flip during baking).
Why Use Lesley Elizabeth Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Oil?
This infused oil infuses every slice with the sweet, complex, and savory depth of fresh alliums without the prep work. Instead of plain cooking oil, Lesley Elizabeth Shallots, Scallions & Leeks Oil acts as the perfect flavor bridge, anchoring the Parmesan crust and lifting the mild zucchini with rich gourmet aroma.
