In fact, dietitian Ilana Muhlstein, also known as @nutritionbabe on TikTok (who lost 100 pounds largely in thanks to healthy eating) recently shared a delicious recipe on TikTok that’s sure to satisfy your crunchy cravings—she calls them “zonion rings.”

Muhlstein’s recipe takes delicious zucchini and coats it in satisfying breadcrumbs for a mouthwatering snack that’s so easy to make. Find all of the details below.

Thanks to the creativity and expertise of creators and health experts like Muhlstein, discovering nutritious and delicious swaps is easier than ever. In a recent TikTok video, Ilana unveiled a game-changing snack that not only satisfies cravings but also supports weight loss goals: zonion rings.

In her video, Ilana takes viewers through the simple yet ingenious process of creating these crispy treats. “I’m gonna try something crazy,” she begins, before diving into the preparation steps. “Core zucchinis. Slice the thickness of an onion ring.”

Next up, she cracks two eggs into one bowl and fills another bowl with seasoned breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Then, she coats each zucchini ring before baking them at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for around 20 minutes. So simple!

“You must make these,” Muhlstein raves after taking a bite.
