Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat dry. Slice each zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat the zucchini evenly.

Step 4

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the zucchini slices, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Step 7

Remove the zucchini from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light snack. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
