A cheesy delight that transforms humble zucchini into a comforting, savory masterpiece.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 medium-sized zucchini, sliced into rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss well to ensure the zucchini is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned zucchini in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the zucchini in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they begin to soften and lightly brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the zucchini.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the zucchini is tender.
Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
