Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil helps crisp the zucchini
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese optional, for added richness and flavor

Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Tongs

Method
 

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