Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup breadcrumbs (optional)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and dry the zucchinis. Slice them into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and place them into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini slices and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the zucchini slices and toss again to evenly coat.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In another small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs (if using). Sprinkle this mixture generously over the zucchini slices.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the zucchini become tender and the cheese topping is golden and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish or snack and enjoy!
