Roasted Parmesan Zucchini

 

This wasn't the best zucchini year in my garden, but we were still able to get some good ones! I found this recipe and it's now my favorite way to cook zucchini when it comes to serving it as a side. It's perfectly seasoned, roasted and that parmesan cheese on top makes it extra good! If you have a couple of zucchini you need to use, this is a great way to do that! So easy and delicious.

Roasted Parmesan Zucchini

2 medium sized zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch rounds

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp. garlic powder

2 Tbsp. olive oil

3/4 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with the olive oil. Sprinkle the zucchini with the spice mix until evenly coated.

3. Arrange on a baking sheet into an even layer. Sprinkle each slice with grated parmesan cheese and bake for 5 minutes. Broil the zucchini for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is golden brown. Be sure to watch carefully so it doesn't burn.
