Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs zucchini, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Slice the zucchini into uniform 1/4 inch rounds to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until every slice is lightly glazed.
- Arrange the seasoned zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan, ensuring they do not touch.
- In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, and dried oregano.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over each zucchini slice, pressing down slightly with fingertips to adhere.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.
