Can I cut the zucchini into rounds instead?

Yes! If you want to do little snacking rounds instead, you can cut the zucchini that way. I would recommend making sure they are still thicker in size and only needing around 15-20 minutes time to bake instead. Perfect little bite size snack for picking up!
