Ingredients

Scale

Zucchini

  • 4 zucchini, quartered lengthwise

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking.
  2. Prepare the zucchini: Quarter the zucchini lengthwise, then toss them in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to evenly coat each piece with seasoning and oil.
  3. Arrange zucchini on baking sheet: Lay the seasoned zucchini quarters on a baking sheet in a single layer, then sprinkle them generously with grated Parmesan cheese for a flavorful crust.
  4. Bake until golden: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the Parmesan has turned golden and crispy on top.

Notes

  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for better flavor and melting.
  • Cut zucchini evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Can be served warm or at room temperature as a side dish.
