This baked Parmesan zucchini recipe combines tender zucchini with a crispy Parmesan crust for a quick, healthy, and flavorful side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized zucchini
  • 1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Brush each zucchini slice lightly with olive oil on both sides.
  5. Press each slice into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating on one side.
  6. Place the zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheet with the coated side facing up.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the Parmesan is golden and crisp.
  8. Let the zucchini cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon if desired.

Notes

[‘Pat the zucchini dry to remove excess moisture and prevent sogginess.’, ‘Space out the slices on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.’, ‘Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and melting.’, ‘Monitor closely while baking to avoid burning.’]
