Crispy oven-fried squash, a healthier alternative to deep-fried versions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- In another shallow dish, beat the egg.
- In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each squash slice first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
- Arrange coated squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
- Serve immediately for best results.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or an air fryer.
