Ingredients
  

For the Zucchini
  • 2 medium Zucchini Use medium to small zucchinis for the best texture and to avoid excess moisture.
For the Coating
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil This rich oil enhances flavor and helps in achieving a crispy finish.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Feel free to use regular salt but adjust the quantity to your taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds a hint of heat; choose between black or white pepper according to your preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Infuses earthy notes; if you need a substitute, dried thyme works wonderfully.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Basil Contributes subtle sweetness; you can swap it with dried marjoram for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Provides a delightful depth; onion powder can be used when garlic isn’t on hand.
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Prefer freshly grated for the best results, but canned will suffice.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Zucchini with Parmesan Cheese
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
  2. Wash and slice the medium to small zucchinis into even rounds, about ¼ inch thick.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  4. Carefully lay the seasoned zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 4-5 minutes.
  6. After the initial baking, switch your oven setting to broil. Broil the zucchini for an additional 4-5 minutes.
  7. Once the zucchini is nicely broiled, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm.
