Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium fresh zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and slice them into even rounds or sticks about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until each piece is well coated.
- Place the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving enough space between slices to prevent sogginess.
- Evenly sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and optional fresh herbs over the zucchini slices to add flavor and a crispy texture.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
