Step-by-Step Instructions for Oven Roasted Zucchini
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice it into even ¼-inch rounds. Toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  3. Incorporate the shredded Parmesan cheese into the mixture until every slice is coated.
  4. Spread the zucchini slices in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle any remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
  5. Roast the zucchini for 6-8 minutes, looking for a golden-brown color and crispy edges.
  6. Let the zucchini cool briefly before transferring to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley.
