Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Baked Parmesan Zucchini
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchini into even 1/4-inch rounds and place them on a clean towel.
  3. Pat the zucchini rounds dry to remove excess moisture.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.
  5. Mix in most of the grated Parmesan cheese, reserving some for topping.
  6. Arrange the zucchini on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan cheese over the zucchini slices.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown.
  9. Garnish with parsley or lemon zest after cooling slightly, and serve warm.
