Delicious Parmesan zucchini rings, courtesy of Instagram, become my preferred choice for a wholesome, tantalizing snack
Stella Drivas, the creator behind the food blog and brand "Hungry Happens," has shared a simple and tasty recipe for Parmesan Zucchini Rings. This Greek-inspired dish is perfect for picnics, parties, or family gatherings, and it's a low-calorie and low-carb alternative to chips.
The recipe requires little oil, seasoning, fresh grated Parmesan, and can optionally include BBQ seasoning and minced garlic. The best part? You can use the entire zucchini, minimizing food waste.
To make the Parmesan Zucchini Rings, start by slicing the zucchini into rings. If you want to prevent them from becoming too samey, feel free to experiment with different seasonings. Once sliced, let the rings sit for a few minutes to draw out excess moisture.
While the zucchini rings are resting, prepare the dip by sautéing fresh minced garlic with BBQ seasoning, then blending it with grated Parmesan and olive oil.
Cook the zucchini rings for about 15 minutes until they crisp up to perfection. If you're making them ahead of time, they can be eaten cold.
Both children and adults alike have enjoyed the Parmesan Zucchini Rings, with the little ones even asking for them to be made again for school lunches. The removed middle bits of the zucchini can be made into a dip, making this recipe a great way to use up surplus zucchinis.
