- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- chopped parsley or lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 425°F 220°C and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Cut zucchini into uniform rounds about ¼ inch thick.
- In a bowl, coat the zucchini slices thoroughly with olive oil, parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Lay the coated zucchini in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and get crispy.
- If desired, add extra parmesan before serving warm.
