Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and dry them with a paper towel. Slice them into 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick rounds.
Step 3
Place the zucchini slices into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the slices. Toss until the zucchini slices are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Step 5
Sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese over each zucchini slice.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, and the zucchini is tender.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the slices cool for a minute. Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. Enjoy!
