Parmesan Roasted Zucchini
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchinis sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F; line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss zucchini with oil, seasonings, and parmesan in a large bowl.
- Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast 12–15 minutes until tender and golden brown.
- Broil for 1–2 minutes if extra crispness is desired.
- Garnish with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Use freshly grated parmesan if possible; pre-shredded cheese often has anti-caking agents that hinder melting.
Pat zucchini rounds dry with paper towels before seasoning for a better crust.
If slices are uneven, tuck smaller ones toward the center of the pan so they don't burn.
Best enjoyed fresh; reheat in an air fryer or toaster oven for best texture.
