Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the ends and slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley and measure out the thyme leaves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the zucchini is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Spread the zucchini slices out in a single layer on the sheet, making sure they don't overlap.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges of the zucchini are golden brown and slightly crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as broilers can vary in intensity.
If desired, remove the zucchini from the broiler, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and broil for an additional 1 minute until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and enjoy!
