  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (plus more for sprinkling)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instruction

  • Adjust the oven rack to the center position. Preheat to 400ºF (204ºC).
  • Lightly drizzle a large sheet pan with olive oil. It can also be covered first with aluminum foil to reduce clean up.
  • Cut zucchini on a bias (angled) to ½-inch thick slices, about 2 to 3 inches long pieces.
  • In a large bowl, toss together the sliced zucchini, olive oil, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili flakes if using.
  • Place the sheet pan in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, this will preheat the cooking surface,
  • Remove the pan from the oven, then carefully spread the slices in a single layer on top.
  • Roast the zucchini about 5 to 7 minutes, until just fork-tender.
  • Sprinkle the cheese on top of the zucchini. Broil in the center of the oven for about 2 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese, serve warm.
