Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchini into ½-inch rounds.
  3. Toss zucchini slices with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the parmesan cheese and toss to combine.
  4. Arrange the zucchini on the prepared baking sheet and top with the remaining parmesan cheese. Bake for 5 minutes.
  5. Turn the oven to broil and move the baking sheet 4 to 6-inches from the broiler. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is lightly browned and the zucchini is tender crisp.

Notes

  • The thicker the zucchini is cut, the crisper it will be.
  • If using really large garden zucchini, peel the skin if needed and scrape out any seeds with a large spoon before cutting. 
  • Store leftovers for up to 4 days in the fridge.
