Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis and trim the ends. Cut each zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the zucchini slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 6

Grill the zucchini slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have visible grill marks. Remove from the grill and place them on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Preheat the broiler to high (or 500°F/260°C if no broiler).

Step 8

Sprinkle the Parmigiano breadcrumb mixture generously over each zucchini slice.

Step 9

Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.
