Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Zucchini and Cheese
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully blended.
  3. Add the sliced zucchini to the seasoning mix and toss gently to coat each piece evenly with the oil and spice mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs until well combined.
  5. Dip each seasoned zucchini slice into the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
  6. Place the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes until tender and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
