Equipment
Baking Sheet
Ingredients
1
pound
zucchini
approximately 2 medium or 3 small, cut .25-inch thick.
2
tablespoons
unsalted butter
melted
1
clove
garlic
minced or 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
1
teaspoon
chopped fresh thyme leaves
or 0.5 teaspoon dried
1
teaspoon
chopped fresh rosemary leaves
or 0.5 teaspoon dried
.25
teaspoon
sea salt
optional
0.5
cup
grated Parmesan cheese
use more if desired
.25
teaspoon
black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix the butter, chopped thyme and rosemary with the minced garlic in a small bowl.
Place the zucchini slices on the baking sheet. Brush the tops of the zucchini slices with the herb butter.
Sprinkle the sea salt and then the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of zucchini.
Grind black pepper over the top and bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 15 to 25 minutes depending on your oven. Mine took 20 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
The sea salt is optional, you can omit if you like.
You can substitute foil or a silicone liner for the parchment paper.
I cut my zucchini on the diagonal because they look pretty and give more space for the cheese, but round slices will work as well.
For extra cheesy bites use 1 or 1.5 cups of grated cheese.
