Ingredients (~6 servings)
- 3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
- 3/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Get Your Oven to 450F and Prep the Zucchini
Put a rack in the center position and preheat to 450F.
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini rounds with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Make sure all the pieces get coated – the oil is what’s going to help them crisp up.
Arrange on Sheet Pan and Top with Parmesan
Spread the zucchini on a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer – don’t overcrowd or they’ll steam instead of roast.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
The cheese will melt and get golden, creating a crispy coating.
Roast for 5 Minutes Then Broil to Finish
Bake for 5 minutes first to get the zucchini cooking.
Turn the oven broiler to high and continue cooking for ~2-3 more minutes until the cheese is golden brown and the zucchini feels tender when you poke it with a fork.
The edges should look slightly caramelized and the Parmesan should be bubbly.
