Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut off the ends and slice each zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, and black pepper. Toss until all slices are evenly coated with the oil and spices.
Step 4
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they do not overlap for even baking.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the zucchini is tender and just starting to brown.
Step 6
Remove the zucchini from the oven, and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each slice. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown.
Step 7
Once done, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool slightly for a couple of minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the zucchini slices to a serving platter, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Enjoy your low sodium baked zucchini with Parmesan and herbs as a flavorful and healthy side dish!
