Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat dry. Slice each zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the zucchini evenly.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the zucchini slices, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light snack. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
