Baked Zucchini Squash Rounds make a delicious and quick side dish for busy nights. It’s a zucchini recipe kids love made with parmesan cheese and panko.
Shared meals are great for your mind, your body, and your spirit. This is why, as a dietitian and mother of two, I am very passionate about inspiring families to gather at the table for a meal at least once a day.
Take a peek at how easy dinner with this round zucchini recipe is to make!
HOW TO MAKE PARMESAN Baked ZUCCHINI Squash Rounds
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees, spray a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray
- Slice zucchini into small rounds
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt
- Combine Italian seasoned panko and Parmesan cheese
- Coat zucchini with panko mixture, place on a baking pan
- Bake 12 minutes, flipping halfway through
Kitchen Tip: Don’t slice too thinly or the zucchini won’t hold up to the high heat.
Press the panko mixture into the zucchini lightly to ensure the zucchini rounds are fully coated.
Kitchen Tip: Heavily coat the baking pan with cooking spray. This helps the zucchini brown and become crispy while baking.
Pair with your favorite dinner, or make things easy with a prepackage dinner such as Stouffer’s Classic Cheese Manicotti and dinner is served!
