1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: fresh herbs for garnish

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup easier.

In a bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until they are well-coated.
Press each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides.
Arrange them in a single layer on your baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
Let them cool for a few minutes and sprinkle fresh herbs on top if you like.
