1. Cut Zucchini into small rounds. Put in a bowl and toss with the olive oil and black pepper.
2. On a baking sheet, arrange these rounds so that they don't overlap. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Remember, we are eating healthy.. so go easy on the cheese.
3. Crank up the oven to 375 F and  bake for 35-40 mins.
