Zucchini Rounds:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

- Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coating of olive oil. Slice zucchinis into 1/4-inch rounds, pat them dry, and set aside.
- Season and Toss: In a bowl, combine zucchini slices, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and most of the parmesan cheese. Toss until well coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay seasoned zucchini slices on the baking sheet, avoiding overlap. Sprinkle reserved parmesan over the top for extra crispness.

- Garnish and Serve: Once done, garnish with parsley, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes. Serve hot and crispy.
