Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs zucchini, sliced into spears or ½ inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the zucchini and slice it into consistent spears or rounds.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until every piece is lightly coated.
  4. Spread the zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring pieces are not touching to prevent steaming.
  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Return to the oven for another 5–8 minutes until the cheese is melted and the zucchini is mahogany-colored and tender.
