Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 150 grams brick cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and pat them dry. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the slices are evenly coated.
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until the zucchini starts to soften.
While the zucchini is baking, cut the brick cheese into small pieces that will fit on top of the zucchini rounds.
Remove the zucchini from the oven and place a piece of brick cheese on each slice.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 4 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles slightly.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the slices to cool for 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the zucchini and cheese slices with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
