Can I make zucchini parmesan rounds in the oven?

Yes. Bake at 425°F for about 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Why are my zucchini rounds soggy?

Too much moisture or overcrowding can prevent crisping. Pat zucchini dry before cooking.

Can I use yellow squash instead of zucchini?

Absolutely. Yellow squash works beautifully with the same cooking method.

What dipping sauce goes best with zucchini rounds?

Spicy mayo, garlic aioli, and marinara are especially delicious with the crispy parmesan coating.

Pat zucchini dry before seasoning for crispier results. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket. Freshly grated parmesan creates the crispiest texture and best flavor.
