INGREDIENT NOTES:

OLIVE OIL:

  • It sticks the seasonings to the zucchini & gives a light brown color while baking. Canola oil is a good alternative to use in this recipe.

ZUCCHINI:

  • This component gets tender after baking in the oven. Zucchini holds its shape better and gives better results. You may use eggplant slices as per your preference.

GARLIC POWDER:

  • This powder gives a savory taste without adding moisture to the rounds. It spreads evenly on the zucchini slices. You may use roasted garlic as a substitute.

ITALIAN SEASONING:

  • It includes herbs like basil, thyme, oregano, and rosemary. Italian seasoning gives a classic herb taste to the recipe. You may use mixed herbs as another option.

REDUCED-FAT MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • Mozzarella melts beautifully in the recipe and is low-calorie. It makes the cheesy topping on the zucchini rounds. You may use a reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend as per your choice.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • It gives a rich and nutty taste to the zucchini rounds. Parmesan cheese gives a golden top if used in a small quantity. Asiago cheese is a good replacement for Parmesan cheese.
