Zucchini Ingredients

  • 2 zucchinis sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
  • Add parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  • Spread zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden and crisp around the edges.

Notes

For extra crispiness, broil the zucchini for the last 2 minutes. This dish pairs well with grilled chicken or pasta. Use yellow squash as a variation.
