Baked Zucchini Recipes

As we all know, zucchinis are one of the staples in the low-carb lifestyle, and they are used quite often.

With our wide selection of oven-baked Zucchini recipes, those panko zucchini will be on top of the list. 

Baked Zucchini Boats are a complete meal option, whereas Stuffed Zucchini Mini Bites are great as an appetizer.

But of course, I can not forget to mention ever so popular Keto Chips made out of Zucchinis, which can be done in the oven as well. 

Our Dehydrated Zucchini Chips are gone in minutes of making, and Smoked Paprika Zucchini Chips are the most popular snack when guests arrive. And if you are missing dehydrator, oven baked zucchini chips are the way to go.

Any leftovers from the cooking, have a look at the best tips on how to freeze zucchini for a long-term storage.

Keto Bread Crumbs

Making Keto Bread Crumbs, which are needed for our recipe, has never been easier. 

I have made them the exact way ordinary Bread Crumbs are made. 

From dry, older bread slices, which can still be lightly baked to make them crunchier and Panko style. 

I have a big Mason Jar or two filled with Keto Breadcrumbs all the time stored in the fridge.

And I always say, do not ever throw old keto bread. It can always be reused.

Keto Bread Recipes for making Breadcrumbs

It does not matter what type of keto bread you make. Once you realize it is not as fresh as you would like, slice it into thin loaves, place them into the oven to dry, and grind in a Magic Bullet, blender, or a Food Processor. 

My favorite Keto Bread recipes to make breadcrumbs from are our Farmers Bread, Fiber Bread Rolls, or Low Carb Buns

But I have already used our Keto Croutons as well, which saved me some time as they were already super crispy, fried, and flavored. Just blend them in the food processor, and you are good to go.

Baked Zucchini 

Our Baked Zucchini recipe has been a big winner in the family.

For my kids, who are not really in love with zucchinis, I try to come up with recipes where zucchinis are involved, and they will enjoy it. 

I already had a winner with our zucchini chips and added them into our mini burgers

But with this recipe, we have stepped into a second level.

They ate the whole plate, which surprised me on one side and made me sad because I was looking forward to eating them on my own after I tried one.

Baked zucchini in the oven has been a great addition to our meal planning ideas. 

Incase you want to try something easier Air Fryer zucchini and squash is a great alternative.

Keto BBQ meals

Baked Low Carb Zucchinis are perfect for taking for a BBQ party as well. You can prepare them in advance and add them onto a BBQ grill or serve it already made, cold as an appetizer. Perfect idea as well.

And to go with the BBQ and extra zucchinis you have left, this Keto Chocolate Cake can not be an exception.

Is Zucchini keto?

Zucchini is one vegetable that fits perfectly with our lifestyle. Made in various ways, you can incorporate zucchini into pasta, making zoodles, a zucchini sliced into noodles.

You can cut them into fries like strips and make perfect zucchini fries. 

Bake zucchini slices as we are making with this low-carb zucchini recipe, fill them up into boats, or cut them into your casserole. The ideas are endless.

How many carbs are in baked breaded keto zucchini?

I have used one whole zucchini for this recipe and have split it into two portions.

This comes to about 20 zucchini slices. 

For a portion, which is 10 oven-baked zucchini slices with breadcrumbs, you get only 3 grams of total carbohydrates.

Adding 2 grams of Fiber, our net carbs come to a beautiful 1g, which is almost unbelievable. 

How long to bake zucchini?

Twenty minutes in the oven will get you a perfect panko style crispy, low-carb zucchini slices using our breaded recipe.

What Sauces to serve with oven-baked zucchinis?

    • Dear Nellwyn,

      Yes, you are right. It could also be a side dish. Although once I make them they are gone in minutes, even before I try to serve them with something. 🙂

    I’m not a big fan of zucchini, but these were surprisingly tasty! I served them as an appetizer at a BBQ dinner last week.
