Ingredients

▢ 2 pounds zucchini - cut into ½-inch thick rounds
▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil
▢ 1 teaspoon salt
▢ ½ teaspoon black pepper
▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢ ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
▢ ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
▢ fresh minced parsley

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 450°F and line 2 large baking sheets with aluminum foil. Set aside.
Transfer the zucchini to a large bowl. Drizzle the zucchini with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Gently toss zucchini to coat.
Arrange the zucchini on the baking sheet in a single layer. Top with the remaining grated parmesan cheese.
Cook zucchini on the center rack for 6-8 minutes, then broil for an additional 2 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown (this happens quickly, so don't walk away).
Garnish with minced parsley, if desired. Best served immediately.
