Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb zucchini
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2–1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475℉ and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by greasing it with oil.
- Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice it into 1/4-1/2 inch thick pieces; thicker slices create crunchier zucchini, while thinner slices lead to a softer texture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and the seasonings; mix until the zucchini is well-coated.
- Spread the seasoned zucchini on the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between each slice for even roasting.
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese generously over each slice of zucchini.
- Roast the zucchini in the oven for 20-24 minutes, adjusting time for desired crispness.
Notes
Make sure to cut the zucchini evenly for uniform cooking.
Feel free to adjust the amount of parmesan cheese to suit your taste.
For a different flavor, experiment with additional herbs or spices.
