Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with some olive oil to prevent sticking.
Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel or paper towels. Cut off the ends of each zucchini. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise, then cut each half into quarters, so you have wedges.
Place the zucchini wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over the zucchini and toss to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the dried thyme, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the zucchini wedges and toss to ensure each piece is well-coated.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese on top of the zucchini wedges, and toss gently to distribute the cheese evenly.
Spread the seasoned zucchini wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are evenly spaced to allow for even cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the parmesan cheese is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the zucchini to cool for a couple of minutes.
Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley over the baked zucchini for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish or a healthy snack. Enjoy the delicious combination of savory parmesan and aromatic herbs with tender, baked zucchini.
Tips:
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the zucchini for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of the baking time.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with the spices and herbs to suit your taste preferences.
- Ensure the zucchini slices are evenly coated with the oil and parmesan mixture for uniform cooking.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
