Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini rounds with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add most of the parmesan cheese and mix well, reserving about 2-3 tablespoons for later.
  5. Arrange zucchini on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved parmesan over the tops of the zucchini rounds.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool briefly on the baking sheet before serving.
