Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.
