Instructions

Preheat the oven to 475℉ and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by greasing it with oil.
Wash and dry the zucchini, then trim the ends and slice into 1/4-1/2 inch thick pieces. For a crunchier texture, slice thicker; for softer zucchini, slice thinner.
In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and spices. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the zucchini slices on the baking sheet in a single layer, leaving space between slices for roasting.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over each zucchini slice.
Roast in the oven for 20-24 minutes, adjusting time for desired texture.

Notes

For a deeper golden color, do not line the baking sheet but grease it instead.
Adjust the amount of salt based on your taste preference.
Smaller zucchinis may work better for roasting as they have fewer seeds.
