as needed Cooking spray or olive oil Ensures that the crisps turn out golden and crispy without sticking to the baking sheet.

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Take a slice of zucchini and dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Coat the zucchini slice in the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture evenly.
Arrange the coated zucchini slices on your prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake the crisps in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
Once baked, let them cool slightly before serving.
