- 2 medium zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Slice the Zucchini:
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the zucchinis into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil until evenly coated. Add Parmesan (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure each slice is seasoned.
