Description

A lighter, veggie-packed twist on the classic Chicken Parmesan, this Zucchini Parmesan features crispy, baked zucchini slices layered with rich marinara sauce and gooey melted cheese. A perfect, healthy, and satisfying dish for any meal!


Ingredients

Scale

For the Baked Zucchini:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 2 eggs, beaten

For the Layers:

  • 2 cups marinara sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Coat & Bake the Zucchini

  1. In a shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dip each zucchini slice into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

3. Assemble & Bake

  1. Spread ½ cup marinara sauce in a baking dish.
  2. Arrange a layer of baked zucchini slices, then top with more sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  3. Repeat the layers, finishing with mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
  4. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

4. Serve & Enjoy

  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm with pasta, garlic bread, or a salad.



Notes

  • For a low-carb version, use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs.
  • Make it extra crispy by broiling for 2-3 minutes at the end.
  • You can prep the baked zucchini slices ahead and assemble just before baking.
