Make this simple, oven-baked zucchini side dish for a quick, cheesy, and crunchy vegetable addition to any meal. It is ready fast and works well as an appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crisp)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the zucchini and trim the ends. Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini rounds with the olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. In a separate small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. Dip each zucchini round into the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere to both sides.
  6. Arrange the coated zucchini rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overlap them.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cheese is golden brown and the zucchini is tender-crisp.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a healthy side dish or keto zucchini snack.

Notes

  • For the crispiest results, pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel before tossing them with oil.
  • If you skip the panko breadcrumbs, this recipe remains naturally gluten free.
  • You can substitute fresh garlic and herbs for the garlic powder if you prefer a stronger flavor.
