Ingredients

2 medium zucchini cut into ¼-inch slices (important! Don't slice them too thin or they'll be soggy)
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese divided
2 Tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Prepare Oven: Arrange oven racks in the middle and top positions. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (parchment paper can scorch under the broiler in step 5).
Season Zucchini: To a mixing bowl, add sliced zucchini, 2 Tablespoons shredded Parmesan, oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Gently stir zucchini slices with a spoon until slices are coated in seasoning mixture.
Top Zucchini With Parmesan: Transfer zucchini to prepared baking sheet and arrange in an even layer (do not overcrowd the baking sheet; use a second baking sheet, if necessary). Top zucchini with remaining 6 Tablespoons shredded Parmesan.
Bake: Transfer baking sheet to middle rack in oven and bake for 6 to 7 minutes, until the zucchini starts to soften.
Broil: Turn on oven broiler, transfer baking sheet to top rack and broil until cheese on top is golden and bubbly, about 2 to 4 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. Then, remove baking sheet from the oven.
Serve: Let zucchini slices cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
