For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure the zucchini pieces are evenly spaced on the baking sheet to promote even browning. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. These are delicious on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce!

Apr 29, 2025I found that the zucchini got a little soggy. Next time, I'll try salting them beforehand to draw out some of the moisture.
