Ingredients

▢ 3 large zucchini (about 2 pounds)
▢ ⅔ cup Italian breadcrumbs
▢ ¼ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
▢ extra virgin olive oil (as needed)
▢ 3 Tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
▢ salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 390°F/200°C.
Trim both ends of the zucchini and carefully cut the zucchini lengthwise into ⅛ inch-thick slices.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parmigiano, and chopped parsley.
Place the sliced zucchini on a large baking tray and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss them to coat them on all sides.
Arrange the zucchini in a single layer and spoon the breadcrumb mixture over each slice, then generously drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the zucchine are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
Allow to cool to room temperature and then transfer to a serving plate.

Notes

If you want to add more flavor, you can use other fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or basil.
Leftovers will last about 2-3 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Freezing is not recommended as they will become mushy after thawed.
