Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it with olive oil.
  2. Wash and slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil until coated.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix grated Parmesan, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled zucchini slices and toss to coat them evenly.
  5. Lay the seasoned zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring some space between each slice.
  6. Bake for about 4-5 minutes or until just beginning to soften and turn golden.
  7. Switch your oven to broil and broil the zucchini for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

For optimal crispiness, cut zucchini uniformly and consider adding a thin layer of cheese before broiling. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
