Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the zucchinis and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the zucchini slices, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
If desired, turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking to achieve a golden-brown finish on the cheese, but keep a close watch to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley if using.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
