Hot from the oven, my husband eagerly consumed several on his own!

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange the zucchini slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Brush each zucchini slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

In a bowl, combine the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

Top each zucchini slice with a generous amount of the cheese mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

For an extra crispy top, switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

For a bit of spice, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture before baking. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as sharp cheddar or gouda, for a unique flavor. If you have little ones who aren’t fond of zucchini, encourage them to help sprinkle the cheese on top; sometimes, being part of the process makes them more willing to try new things. For a gluten-free option, ensure that your cheese is free of any gluten-containing additives.
