Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2-3 medium zucchini Choose firm ones for better texture.
Cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated works best for melting and browning.
Oils and Seasonings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Avocado oil can be used as a substitute.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced Garlic powder can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Dried oregano can be used instead.
Serving Garnishes
  • 1 wedge lemon Optional, for serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  2. Wash the zucchini and dry it well. Slice into spears or thick coins.
  3. In a bowl, toss zucchini with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Cooking
  1. Spread zucchini on a sheet pan in a single layer.
  2. Sprinkle Parmesan all over the zucchini.
  3. Roast for about 14 to 18 minutes, until browned on the edges.
  4. For extra browning, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end while monitoring closely.

Notes

For picky eaters, cut zucchini into coins and sprinkle extra cheese after roasting. Store leftovers in a container with the lid slightly cracked until cool to prevent sogginess. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
