Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchinis
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Wash and dry the zucchinis. Trim their ends, slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the sliced zucchinis with olive oil, ensuring each slice is well-coated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 5

Dredge each zucchini slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres. Place the coated slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
