Here’s a simple and cheesy zucchini recipe you can try:
Cheesy Baked Zucchini
Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchinis
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchinis and slice them into rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. If you prefer, you can cut them in half lengthwise for a different presentation.
-
Season: In a large bowl, toss the zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano (if using). Make sure they are evenly coated.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the zucchini slices. Make sure the cheese covers them evenly.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can also broil for the last 2-3 minutes to get the cheese golden and bubbly.
-
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.
Enjoy your cheesy, savory zucchini dish! You can also mix things up by adding a bit of crushed red pepper for a little heat or a sprinkle of breadcrumbs for crunch.
