1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional and to taste)
-
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
-
2 egg whites, slightly beaten
-
cheddar cheese, finely shredded
Instructions
- Set oven to 450 degrees (yes 450 degrees, or even a little higher if possible, this will create a crispy crust!).
- In a bowl mix together the panko bread crumbs with seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cayenne (if using) and Parmesan cheese.
- Place the egg whites into a shallow bowl.
- Dip the zucchini slices into the egg whites (letting any excess egg whites drip off).
- Coat the slices in the panko mixture (use fingers to firmly adhear the mixture to the slices if necessary).
- Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake for about 5-6 minutes; turn over and continue to bake for another 6-9 minutes, or until browned and crispy.
- As soon as the slices come out of the oven sprinkle with finely grated cheddar cheese if desired.
- Delicious!
