Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs (basil, oregano, thyme)
- 1 cup Low sodium cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and dry the zucchinis thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Place the zucchini slices in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over them and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried Italian herbs.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the zucchini slices and toss again to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, combine the shredded low sodium cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the zucchini slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini cool slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy your low sodium cheesy baked zucchini!
