Baked Zucchini and Cheese

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini, sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them in a large bowl.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the zucchini, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese together.
5. Layer half of the zucchini in a greased casserole dish, followed by half of the cheese mixture. Repeat with the remaining zucchini and cheese.
6. If using, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top layer of cheese for added crunch.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
