👩‍🍳 How to Make It

1. Prep the Zucchini

• Wash the zucchinis and slice into even ¼-inch rounds.

• Pat them dry with a paper towel — this helps them crisp up.

2. Mix the Coating

In a bowl, combine:

• Parmesan

• Garlic powder

• Paprika (optional)

• Italian seasoning

• Salt & pepper

Mix well.

3. Toss with Oil

• Add the zucchini to a bowl.

• Drizzle (or spray) with olive oil.

• Toss gently so each slice has a light coating.

4. Coat with Parmesan Mix

• Press each slice into the Parmesan mixture so one side gets a thick, cheesy layer.

• Arrange slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cheese side up.

5. Bake

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

• Bake 18–22 minutes, or until golden, crispy and bubbling.

6. Garnish & Serve

• Sprinkle fresh parsley on top.

• Enjoy hot!
