Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. Cut off both ends of each zucchini and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss well to coat the zucchini evenly.
Spread the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the zucchini is fork-tender and the cheese is golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini cool slightly.
Transfer the roasted zucchini to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Enjoy your low carb perfectly roasted zucchini as a delightful side dish!
