Crispy Zucchini Bites with Garlic Aioli

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds and pat them dry with a paper towel.

3. 3

   Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Panko, Parmesan, oregano, and garlic powder.

4. 4

   Dredge each zucchini slice in flour, dip into the egg wash, and then press firmly into the Panko mixture to coat.

5. 5

   Place the coated slices on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.

6. 6

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden and crispy.

7. 7

   While baking, whisk together mayonnaise, minced fresh garlic, lemon juice, and salt to create the aioli.

8. 8

   Serve the zucchini bites hot with the garlic aioli on the side for dipping.
