Ingredients
  

  • Zucchini 2 medium, sliced thinly: The star ingredient, providing a crunchy base with a soft center.
  • Olive oil 2 tablespoons: Helps crisp up the zucchini and adds richness.
  • Garlic 3 cloves, minced: Adds a punchy, savory flavor.
  • Salt 1/2 teaspoon, to taste: Enhances the flavors and balances the sweetness of the zucchini.
  • Black pepper 1/4 teaspoon, to taste: Adds a little heat to balance the garlic.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the zucchini into thin, even rounds, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  4. Place the zucchini slices in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the zucchini halfway through, until they are golden and crispy; baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the zucchini slices.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
  8. Once crispy, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  9. Serve immediately as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
  10. Garnish with extra salt, pepper, or fresh herbs if desired.
