Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Rounds

### Step 3: Season & Cheese

In a bowl, mix the **Parmesan**, **garlic powder**, and **Italian seasoning**.
Lay the zucchini slices on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the top of each round.
Add a pinch of **salt and pepper**. If you like extra crispiness, spray or drizzle lightly with **olive oil**.

### Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Bake for **12–15 minutes**, or until the cheese is **golden brown and crispy**. For extra crispiness, you can broil for an additional **1–2 minutes**, but watch closely so they don’t burn.

### Step 5: Serve Hot

Let them cool slightly — they’ll crisp up even more as they rest. Then serve immediately, alone or with a side of **marinara sauce** or **garlic aioli** for dipping.
