Ingredients
- 4 medium zucchini
- 0.5 cup Italian dressing
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 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 olive oil.
Step 2
Wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut off the ends and slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini slices, Italian dressing, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Toss well to ensure the zucchini is evenly coated with the marinade.
Step 4
Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even roasting.
Step 5
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.
Step 6
Roast the zucchini in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and the edges start to caramelize and turn golden brown.
Step 7
Remove the zucchini from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or alongside your favorite main course.
