Ingredients:

• 2 large zucchini, thinly sliced
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions:

1. Prepare the zucchini: In a large bowl, combine flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Coat the zucchini: Dip each zucchini slice into the flour mixture, coating both sides.
3. Pan-fry: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the zucchini slices until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Serve: Transfer the cooked zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

• For a healthier option, bake the zucchini slices in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy.
• Serve Zucchini Parmesan as a side dish with grilled chicken, fish, or pasta.
• You can also add other ingredients to the flour mixture, such as grated mozzarella cheese or Italian seasoning.
