Parmesan Zucchini

Parmesan zucchini can best be described as crispy, and delicious, the best way possible to eat zucchini. Seriously so good my kids devoured seconds.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium zucchini, about 1 pound sliced into ⅓-inch rounds
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the zucchini rounds in a single layer on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with Parmesan cheese.
  • Roast the zucchini for 10 minutes and then increase the heat to Broil. Broil the zucchini for 4-5 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is golden brown.

Notes

To avoid a soggy texture, try soaking the zucchini rounds in salt water before cooking. After a 20-30 minute soak, drain the salt water off, and be sure to pat the surface dry before drizzling with oil. Removing as much moisture as you can helps create those crispy edges.
