Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced zucchini with olive oil until evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and black pepper.
Coat the zucchini pieces in the Parmesan mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered.
Arrange the coated zucchini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overcrowding.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Serve hot.

Notes

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.

For additional crispiness, mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs with the Parmesan.

Try substituting or combining Parmesan with Asiago or Romano for a sharper flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375°F for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
