Ingredients 

  • 4-6 small or medium yellow squash, sliced into ¼” thick coins 
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil 
  • Salt and pepper, to taste 
  • 1 cup panko style bread crumbs 
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano 
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder 
  • Non-stick cooking spray 

Instructions 

  1. Prepare the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and let it preheat. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and give it a light spray of non-stick cooking spray. 
  1. Get the Squash Ready: Cut the yellow squash into ¼” thick rounds. Put the slices in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss until well-coated.  
  1. Mix the Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.  
  1. Coat the Squash: Dip each squash slice into the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks. Place the coated squash slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. 
  1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash chips are golden brown and crispy. Flip the slices halfway through the baking time to ensure even crisping. 
  1. Serve: Remove the squash chips from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Savor them solo or pair with your preferred dipping sauce.
