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

Optional Garnish:

  • Chopped parsley or lemon zest

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay seasoned zucchini slices on the baking sheet, avoiding overlap. Sprinkle reserved parmesan over the top for extra crispness.
  4. Bake to Crispy Perfection: Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Once done, garnish with parsley, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes. Serve hot and crispy.
