Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb zucchini, cut into spears or sticks
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the zucchini into spears (quarters lengthwise) or sticks (about ½ inch thick).
  3. In a large bowl, toss the zucchini with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the zucchini in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between each piece to allow air circulation.
  5. Roast for 8–10 minutes until the edges just start softening.
  6. Remove the tray from the oven and evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the top of the zucchini.
  7. Turn the oven to Broil (High) and place the tray back in for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and mahogany-colored.
  8. Remove from oven and garnish immediately with fresh parsley.
