Ingredients
- 3 Zucchini
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese divided
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet with half of the olive oil.
- Cut the zucchini into ½ inch thick slices and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the slices with the remaining olive oil. Then, sprinkle them with garlic powder and most of the Parmesan cheese, saving a tablespoon for later.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 9 minutes.
- After baking, switch the oven to broil on high and broil the zucchini for 1 minute to get a nice, crispy top.
- Take the zucchini out of the oven, sprinkle with the reserved Parmesan, and add the freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
Uniform Slices: Cut the zucchini into uniform slices to ensure even cooking. Thicker slices will be juicier, while thinner slices get crisper.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the zucchini in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can cause them to steam rather than roast, preventing them from getting crispy.
