Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the zucchinis and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 5
Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the zucchini slices, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
If desired, turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking to achieve a golden-brown finish on the cheese, but keep a close watch to avoid burning.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley if using.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
