• 2 lbs. zucchini ((about 6 small or 4 medium), sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil

• 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley

Preparazione

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For optionally for easier clean up line a rimmed 18 by 13-inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

2. 2

   In a small mixing bowl stir together olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper (I use about 3/4 to 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper).

3. 3

   Place zucchini coins in a large mixing bowl. Pour oil mixture over zucchini and toss well until evenly coated.

4. 4

   Pour onto baking sheet then spread out into a single layer. Top with parmesan.

5. 5

   Bake in preheated oven until just starting to soften about 7 - 9 minutes. Remove zucchini and transfer oven rack closer to broiler. Preheat broiler.

6. 6

   Let broil until cheese is golden brown and zucchini is tender, about 2 - 3 minutes longer (keep a close eye on it).

7. 7

   Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
