Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini slices and toss to coat evenly.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the zucchini slices and toss again to evenly coat.
Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
In another small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs (if using). Sprinkle this mixture generously over the zucchini slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the zucchini become tender and the cheese topping is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack and enjoy!
