Zucchini Garlic Bites

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
  3. Coat the Zucchini:
    • Add the zucchini slices to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the garlic mixture.
  4. Arrange and Bake:
    • Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini slices are tender and starting to brown on the edges.
  5. Add Cheese (Optional):
    • If desired, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the zucchini slices during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy finish.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
    • Serve the Zucchini Garlic Bites warm as a tasty appetizer, side dish, or healthy snack!
