Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini (approx. 1 lb / 450g)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Wash and dry the zucchini thoroughly. Note: Wet zucchini equals soggy results.
  2. Slice the zucchini into rounds about 6mm thick.
  3. Toss the slices in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper until glistening.
  4. Whisk the Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, and smoked paprika in a small ramekin.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the oil coated zucchini and toss gently to coat.
  6. Spread the slices in a single layer on a parchment lined sheet, making sure they don't touch.
  7. Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Remove the tray until the edges are mahogany colored and the cheese is a crisp shell.
