2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare the Zucchini:

Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Make the Garlic Mixture:

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Season the Zucchini:

Brush or drizzle the garlic mixture evenly over the zucchini slices. You can use a spoon to help distribute the mixture if needed.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the edges are golden and crispy.

Garnish and Serve:

Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

For extra crunch, you can broil the zucchini for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.

Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices to suit your taste. A pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika can add a nice kick.

These Zucchini Garlic Bites are deliciously crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of garlic flavor. Enjoy them as a snack or a side dish.
