Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis (approx. 1 lb / 450g), sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
  • ½ tsp (3g) kosher salt
  • ½ cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup (30g) Panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp (2g) garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp (1g) cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the zucchini slices in a large mixing bowl with olive oil and salt until evenly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and cracked black pepper.
  4. Arrange the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet and press a generous pinch of the Parmesan mixture onto the top of each slice, pressing down firmly to adhere.
  5. Bake on the center rack for 12–15 minutes until the cheese is deep golden brown and the edges of the zucchini are mahogany-colored.
