Baked Parmesan Zucchini Recipe - A Mediterranean Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 medium Zucchini (Sliced into rounds)
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (Grated)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil (Extra virgin for best flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (Dried)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Breadcrumbs (Optional for added crunch)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Zucchini

    Slice the zucchini into rounds and place them in a mixing bowl.

    Try to keep the slices uniform for even baking.
  3. Mix Ingredients

    Add olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the zucchini. Toss well to coat.

    You can adjust seasoning according to taste.
  4. Arrange Zucchini

    Spread the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.

    Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  5. Add Cheese and Breadcrumbs

    Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the zucchini slices. If using, add breadcrumbs on top.
