Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup Italian dressing
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut off the ends and slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices, Italian dressing, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Toss well to ensure the zucchini is evenly coated with the marinade.
Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.
Roast the zucchini in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and the edges start to caramelize and turn golden brown.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish or alongside your favorite main course.
