Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a thin layer of olive oil.

Step 2

Wash the zucchinis thoroughly, trim the ends, and slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated.

Step 4

Add garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.

Step 5

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.

Step 7

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini becomes tender and the Parmesan is golden and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish or snack.
