Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup vegan Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until they are well coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the vegan Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chopped basil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Dip each zucchini slice into the Parmesan-herb mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated, and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley and basil if desired, and serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
