ZUCCHINI PARMESAN CRISPS

An amazing snack that is simple to make with just flour, egg and Panko-Parmesan coating. It’s healthy, crunchy, incredibly crispy and insanely addicting. Every bite tastes like perfection.

If you’re a binge eater, snacking on any and everything all day long, then I’ve got just the perfect healthy snack for you. I discovered this a few years back while browsing through mum’s old recipe book. I tried it once and I haven’t looked back since. This incredible crispy snack required zucchinis and fresh parmesan which I had handy then, and after a few minutes in the kitchen, I took the bite that would change my life forever.

Believe me when I say that you will not be able to put these down. And the best or should I say scariest part of it all is how easy it is to make! These crisps come together in only 15 minutes and are deep fried to utter crisp perfection with a simple flour, egg, and Panko-Parmesan coating. You can absolutely bake them for a healthy option, but I went the extra mile and fried them to achieve that perfect golden-brown crust. My kids love it, my husband loves it, I’m crazy addicted and I’ve made these like 3 times over the last two weeks, and I’m sure I’ll make them again. Try serving this at a family dinner and see what they think.
