Get ready for a snack revelation! These Parmesan Zucchini Rings offers crunch and savory flavor. Each slice of fresh zucchini is generously coated in Parmesan cheese, baking up into a wonderfully crispy, golden crust. They're not just delicious, they're also gluten-free and low-carb, making them the perfect smart snack solution.
There is zero waste here because the zucchini centers become a dip. They are sautéed until tender, then blended with bright lemon, milk, and spices and pulsed until smooth.
- Prep: 5 mins
- Cook: 25 mins
- Yields: 4 Servings

Directions
1Preheat your oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2Slice the zucchini into thick rounds. Use an apple corer to remove each seed center and to make them into rings. Set the centers aside. Place the rings onto the baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herb blend and parmesan until well coated. Spread them out on the pan. Top with a little more Italian herb blend and bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
Dip
1Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the zucchini centers for 3-5 minutes until fork tender. Once done remove from the pan and transfer to the mini food processor. Next, add in the lemon, milk, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper and pulse together until smooth. Taste and adjust any flavors if needed. Serve with the zucchini rings.
