Low Carb Parmesan Zucchini Bites

Crispy-edged, tender zucchini rounds topped with savory Parmesan, garlic, and a pinch of paprika. These simple bites make an easy low-carb, vegetarian-friendly snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchinis
• 1 tsp ground garlic
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ cup Parmesan powder
• A pinch of paprika

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper and lightly spray the parchment with no-stick spray.
2. Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into rounds approximately ¼ inch (0.65 cm) thick. Pat the slices dry with paper towels.
3. Arrange the zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared tray. Keep them separated so they aren't touching or overlapping.
4. Sprinkle the ground garlic and salt evenly over the zucchini slices.
5. Add a small amount of Parmesan powder to each zucchini round, followed by a pinch of paprika.
6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the Parmesan is lightly golden brown and the zucchini is tender while still holding its shape.
7. Remove from the oven and let the zucchini bites cool for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Serve on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce.
