Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs zucchini ((about 4 - 5 small/medium zucchini))
2 Tbsp olive oil
Zest of 1 small lemon ((1 tsp))
2 cloves garlic (, crushed through a garlic crusher or finely minced)
3/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cut zucchini into 4 wedges through the length.
  • In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, lemon zest and garlic. Align zucchini on prepared baking sheet spacing them evenly apart.
  • Brush olive oil mixture over tops of zucchini (working to get some of the garlic/lemon zest on each piece and not just in one spot. It clumps together a little so just spread it out).
  • Sprinkle tops with parmesan cheese (try to get as much of it on the tops as possible, you can pick up what was sprinkled off to the sides of the zucchini and add it to the tops) and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in preheated oven 11 - 13 minutes then, adjust oven rack near top of oven and broil for several minutes until parmesan is golden brown. Serve warm

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium zucchini (2 1/2 to 3 pounds total)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup panko (Japanese bread flakes)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Place the zucchini in one layer on a sheet pan, brush generously all over with olive oil, and turn the zucchini cut side down. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until just tender but still firm when tested with the tip of a small paring knife.

Tips:

  • Choose medium-sized zucchini for even cooking. If using larger zucchini, cut them into 1-inch rounds.
  • To prevent the zucchini from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is well-oiled before adding the zucchini.
  • If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can substitute another hard cheese, such as Asiago or Romano.
  • For a crispier zucchini, roast it at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time. For a softer zucchini, roast it at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time.
  • Serve the zucchini immediately after roasting, while it is still hot and crispy.
