Ingredients

  • 2 medium Zucchini sliced into ¼ inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅔ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. While it is warming, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.
  • Step 2: In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil over the zucchini rounds, just enough to lightly coat them. Add the zucchini in a single layer to the baking sheet.
  • Step 3: Mix the Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the zucchini evenly.
  • Step 4: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 4-5 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender.
  • Step 5: For the golden finish, switch the oven to broil for 4-5 minutes of baking (or a shorter amount of time depending on your oven!). Keep a close watch to prevent any burning.
  • Step 6: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the zucchini rounds cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm as a delightful side dish or a healthy snack.

Notes

From the two medium zucchini that I use for this recipe, I cut approximately 35 rounds. For four people, that’s about 9 rounds per person (approximately ½ of a zucchini).
