Elevate your November feast with tender Baked Parmesan Zucchini! Sliced, tossed with olive oil, garlic, and sea salt, then oven-roasted to golden, cheesy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, about 1.5 lbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or Italian seasoning)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup. Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds or sticks.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well until all the zucchini pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Step 3: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and dried parsley to the bowl with the seasoned zucchini. Toss again gently until the zucchini is thoroughly coated with the cheesy mixture.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the coated zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure that the pieces are not overlapping, allowing them to bake evenly and get crispy.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender-crisp and the Parmesan cheese is golden brown and slightly crispy. For an extra crisp finish, you may broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a delicious and festive side dish for your Year-End Celebration or November Feast.

Notes

  • Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, though they'll be softer than fresh – still delicious!
  • Revive any chilled zucchini by reheating it in the oven or an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to help restore its delightful crispness.
  • This versatile side dish is fantastic with your holiday roasts, grilled chicken, or even as a satisfying vegetarian appetizer served with a fresh lemon wedge.
  • For the crispiest Parmesan coating, ensure your zucchini pieces are in a truly single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet; bake in batches if needed for optimal results!
