Ingredients

  • 2 large zucchini
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice zucchini lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick steaks and arrange on the baking sheet.
  3. Brush with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Roast for 15–18 minutes until tender and lightly golden.
  5. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan over the zucchini slices.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Try different cheeses like provolone, gouda, or white cheddar.
  • Top with grilled chicken or crumbled bacon for a heartier dish.
  • Grill instead of roast for smoky flavor—3–4 minutes per side.
  • Make it dairy-free with vegan cheese alternatives.
