Description
Thinly sliced zucchini glisten with garlic-infused olive oil and crisp under a toasty Parmesan blanket, releasing nutty aromas and finished with bright parsley for addictive flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the zucchini and cut off the ends, then slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add the zucchini slices to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini slices.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the zucchini is golden and the edges are crisp.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
- You can swap Parmesan for Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- Leftovers taste great cold or reheated in a toaster oven.
- Adjust garlic amount to suit your taste preference.
