Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional Garnish:

Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it. Slice zucchinis into rounds, pat them dry, ensuring no excess moisture.
- Season and Toss: In a bowl, coat zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and most of the parmesan. Reserve some parmesan for later. Toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay zucchini slices on the baking sheet without overlapping. Sprinkle reserved parmesan on top for an extra crispy finish.

- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with parsley, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes. Serve hot and crispy.
Notes
- Ensure zucchini slices are similar in thickness for even cooking.
- Excess moisture removal is crucial for a crispy texture.
