Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (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.
Step 2
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini slices and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the zucchini slices and toss again to evenly coat.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Step 6
In another small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs (if using). Sprinkle this mixture generously over the zucchini slices.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the zucchini become tender and the cheese topping is golden and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or snack and enjoy!
