Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Here's how to make it: 

1. Put the zucchini into a bowl. Add the garlic powder and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. (Yellow crookneck squash or patty pan squash could be used instead of zucchini.)
2. Put the zucchini onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan. (If you don't have Parmesan cheese, try gruyere, white cheddar, fontina or mozzarella.)
3. Bake in a preheated 450-degree F oven for about 5 minutes. Turn the broiler on and broil for about 2 minutes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
