Ingredients

Zucchini Rounds:

  • 2 medium zucchinis

Cheese Mixture:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice zucchinis: Slice zucchinis into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Mix cheese: In a bowl, combine mozzarella, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add cheese mixture: Spoon the cheesy mixture onto each zucchini slice, gently pressing it down.
  5. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
  6. Cool and garnish: Let cool slightly, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the rounds for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Swap mozzarella for sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a spicier flavor.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
