Tips for the Parmesan Zucchini Bites recipe
These baked zucchini bites are perfect for that zucchini stash you’ve got goin’ on. Here are a few tips to make the baked parmesan zucchini bites:
- Instead of baking at 400ºF, you can turn on your broiler and move the pan up to the very top rack. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on it, until it is as brown and crispy as you like.
- The thinner, the crunchier: While these zucchini rounds are not designed to be crispy, the crunchiness of these zucchini depends on how thin you slice them. If serving as an appetizer, you can slice them super thin, however, if serving as a side dish or snack, go for 1/4-inch thick.
Do we have to peel zucchini?
No, there’s no need to peel the zucchini. In fact, the skin is a big source of nutrients so you definitely want to leave the skin on!
