Creating Baked Parmesan Zucchini is a simple process. Follow these easy steps to make this flavorful dish:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

4. Set Up Breading Stations: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
5. Dip Zucchini: Take each zucchini slice and dip it into the eggs, coating it well. Allow any excess egg to drip off.
