For an even more intense sesame flavor, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant before adding them to the zucchini. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. A pinch is all you need for a subtle warmth, or add more for a bolder kick. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for its superior flavor and melting qualities. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; bake in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
