Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Parmesan Zucchini
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and trim the zucchini, then slice it lengthwise into 3-4 inch sticks approximately half an inch thick.
  3. Place the zucchini sticks in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well until evenly coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the coated zucchini and gently toss to ensure each piece is covered.
  6. Transfer the zucchini sticks to the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are spaced out.

  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
