This recipe transforms simple zucchini into a delicious, crispy side dish with minimal effort. The key to success is slicing the zucchini evenly and not overcrowding the baking sheet, which ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness. Follow these steps for perfectly baked zucchini every time.

These baked zucchini rounds are best enjoyed immediately while hot and crispy. If you have leftovers, reheat them in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore some crispness. For a variation, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the coating for a spicy kick, or substitute yellow summer squash for some of the zucchini.
