Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini (courgettes)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 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 your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the zucchini thoroughly, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to create a seasoned cheese blend.
Step 4
Drizzle the zucchini slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Dip each zucchini slice into the Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the cheese sticks to both sides of the slices.
Step 6
Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the Parmesan coating turns golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
