Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into thin, even rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs or panko.

Notes
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed rice crackers. For a healthier version, bake the zucchini slices at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through. You can also use almond flour or crushed pork rinds for a low-carb option.
