Can I make this in an air fryer instead?

Absolutely! My air fryer gets just as much zucchini love as my oven. Just crank it to 375°F and give those coated slices about 8-10 minutes - flip halfway through for perfect crispiness. Bonus? They cook even faster than oven-baked!

What's the best low-carb option?

Oh, I've nailed this one during my keto meal plan phase! Skip breadcrumbs entirely and go with finely grated parmesan (the powdery kind sticks best) mixed with almond flour. Same crisp, zero guilt. Check out my Pinterest for more easy low-carb swaps!

Does zucchini size matter?

You bet! Medium zucchinis (about 6-8 inches long) are goldilocks - not too watery, not too dense. Watch out for baseball bat zucchinis; they'll make your slices uneven.

Can I prep these ahead?

Sort of! You can slice and coat the zucchini up to 2 hours before baking (store them single-layer in the fridge). But bake just before serving - nobody wants soggy zucchini crisp!

Help! My coating won't stick!

Been there! The trick? Dry your zucchini slices THOROUGHLY with paper towels after slicing, then oil them well. Moisture is the enemy of crunch!
