Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the zucchinis. Trim the ends, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, ensuring each slice is well coated.
Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the zucchini. Toss everything together until the zucchini slices are evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
Spread the zucchini 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 become tender and the edges are slightly crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before transferring the zucchini to a serving platter.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
