Oven Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place zucchini slices in a bowl and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle each round generously with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the cheese is golden and the edges are crispy.

- Place seasoned zucchini rounds inside the basket (don’t overcrowd).
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, until crisp and golden.
💡 Tips for Perfect Crunch
Cut all zucchini slices the same thickness for even cooking.
Use grated Parmesan, not shredded — it sticks better and crisps beautifully.
For extra crunch: add 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs.
Want spice? Sprinkle with chili flakes before baking.
