Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  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 medium-sized bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until combined.
  3. Add the sliced zucchini rounds to the seasoning mixture and toss until fully coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and breadcrumbs until evenly distributed.
  5. Dip each seasoned zucchini slice into the cheesy breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
  6. Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender, enjoying the aroma as they cook.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
