1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: fresh herbs for garnish

Slice the zucchinis into thin rounds (about 1/4 inch thick).
In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Toss the zucchini slices in olive oil to make sure they are well-coated.
Dip each zucchini slice into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to make sure it sticks.
Arrange the coated zucchini slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs before serving.
