Add the zucchini slices to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini are tender and the cheese is golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
