Ingredients

  • 2 eggs beaten
  • ½ teaspoon your favorite hot sauce
  • cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican seasoning blend or taco seasoning
  • cups crushed tortillas chips
  • 2 zucchinis cut into ½ inch thick rounds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.
  • Set up your dredging station: Place flour in one bowl. Whisk eggs and hot sauce together in a second bowl. Toss seasoning mixed with crushed tortilla chips in a third bowl.
  • Toss zucchini rounds into flour to coat, then place in bowl with egg mixture and turn to cover each piece in egg completely. Finally, place in bowl with tortilla chips and seasoning and toss until coated, pressing lightly to adhere the chips to the wet zucchini pieces.
  • Remove carefully {I used a fork} and place on lined baking sheet, leaving about a ½ inch between each piece.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until the zucchini is fork-tender and the outside is crisp.

Notes

You may want to use salt-free seasoning if you are using salted tortilla chips.
