Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini (courgettes)
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, mixing well to create a seasoned cheese blend.
Drizzle the zucchini slices with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Dip each zucchini slice into the Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the cheese sticks to both sides of the slices.
Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the Parmesan coating turns golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack. Enjoy!
