Pat the zucchini slices completely dry with a paper towel (this is crucial for crispiness). Brush both sides of each slice lightly with olive oil.
Press each oiled zucchini slice firmly into the cheese-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Place the coated slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the zucchini is tender and the crust is deeply golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately as a side dish or healthy snack.
