Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Trim their ends, slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the sliced zucchinis with olive oil, ensuring each slice is well-coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Dredge each zucchini slice in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating adheres. Place the coated slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
