Golden Parmesan Zucchini (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
3 medium zucchinis, cut into rounds about half an inch thick.
02 -
Half a cup of Parmesan, grated finely.
03 -
Optional: 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs.
04 -
A teaspoon of garlic powder.
05 -
One teaspoon onion powder.
06 -
Half a teaspoon of paprika (optional).
07 -
Salt and black pepper as needed.
08 -
2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter—your choice.
09 -
Chopped parsley, only if you want a garnish.
# Instructions:
01 -
Give the zucchinis a good wash. Dry them well, then slice into rounds, about half an inch thick and even.
02 -
Turn on your oven to 425°F and get a baking sheet ready with parchment paper.
03 -
Combine Parmesan cheese, all the seasonings, and breadcrumbs (if you’re using them). Stir it all up.
04 -
Lay the zucchini slices on the prepared sheet. Brush them lightly with butter or oil, sprinkle the cheesy mixture on top, and press lightly so it sticks.
05 -
Bake for 10-15 minutes. To crisp more, broil for 1-2 minutes. Let cool a little and add parsley if you like.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure the zucchini is super dry for crispy results.
02 -
Keep slices the same size to avoid uneven cooking.
03 -
Enjoy while still hot and crunchy for the best texture.
