# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Main
01 -
3 medium zucchini, sliced into 5 mm rounds
02 -
50 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
03 -
15 ml extra virgin olive oil
04 -
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
05 -
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
02 -
Cut zucchini into even 5 mm rounds. Place slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, add salt and black pepper, and toss to coat every piece evenly.
03 -
Lay zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each slice.
04 -
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cheese is golden and the edges of the zucchini are crisp.
05 -
Let zucchini cool for a few minutes to develop extra crispness. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish. Optional: finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan as it melts and browns more evenly than pre-shredded varieties.
02 -
Ensure zucchini slices are of uniform thickness to promote even baking.
