Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will help the zucchini cook evenly and become tender while allowing the topping to crisp up nicely.

Wash the zucchini thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Slice the zucchini into ¼ inch rounds using a sharp knife on a cutting board.

In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the zucchini is evenly coated. This step enhances the flavor and helps the topping adhere better.

In a separate bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and bread crumbs. This mixture will create a flavorful and crunchy topping for the zucchini.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture generously over the zucchini slices, ensuring each piece is well-covered. This will create a delicious crust as it bakes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the topping is golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to handle.
