Simple Baked Zucchini Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into sticks or rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but highly recommended!)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: a pinch of chili flakes for a little kick
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the zucchini: Wash and slice into sticks or rounds—whatever shape you prefer!
- Toss with olive oil: In a large bowl, mix zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated.
- Season well: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese over the zucchini. Toss again to combine.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Lay the zucchini out in a single layer so they bake evenly and get crispy.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp on the edges.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce — ranch, marinara, or a simple yogurt dip all work beautifully!
