Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a thin layer of olive oil.
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly, trim the ends, and slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
Add garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini becomes tender and the Parmesan is golden and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as a side dish or snack.
