Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 450°.
Coat a 13×18 sheet pan with 1 ½ tablespoons ghee.
Mix ¼ cup plain yogurt and 1/8 teaspoon sea salt in a small dish.
Place 7 cups ¼” thick sliced zucchini in a large bowl and pour the yogurt mix on top. Stir to coat the zucchini.
In a separate shallow bowl, combine 1 cup plain, whole wheat einkorn bread crumbs with 1 tablespoon crushed oregano leaves, ½ teaspoon ground sweet paprika (use hot if you prefer spicy), 2 tablespoons grated parmesan, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt.
Dip each piece of zucchini in the bread crumb and spice mix. Coat both sides.
Place the zucchini on the ghee coated sheet pan in one layer.
Bake for 18-20 minutes on the first side. Flip once and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Serve warm with your favorite dip.

Notes

Use a high-quality strong smelling paprika.

For mild zucchini use sweet paprika.

Use spicy paprika, or add a pinch of ground cayenne to the bread crumb and spice mix if you prefer some heat.
