- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly. Trim off the ends and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
Place the zucchini slices in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning over the zucchini slices. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
Step 5
Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they do not overlap to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the zucchini slices.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy it on its own for a cheesy, flavorful snack.
