Description
A little crispy, super fast, and ultra-healthy, easy roasted zucchini with Parmesan really hits the spot. With just a few simple ingredients, a delicious side dish is only 10 minutes away.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini, cut into ½-inch-thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the center position.
2. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Arrange on a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer, top with the Parmesan cheese and bake for 5 minutes.
4. Turn the oven broiler to High and continue to bake until the cheese is golden brown and the zucchini is tender, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve immediately and season with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan or zucchini will steam instead of roast.
Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts and browns better than pre-grated.
Broil carefully at the end to avoid burning.
