Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

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.
Trim the stem end of the zucchini, cut them in half lengthwise, and scoop out a small channel of seeds with a regular teaspoon. 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.
Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the panko and 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil and mix well.
Turn the zucchini cut side up and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the panko mixture evenly on each zucchini. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the panko is crispy. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

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.

Oven-roasted garlic Parmesan zucchini is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a healthy and flavorful way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The zucchini is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, and the Parmesan cheese adds a salty and nutty flavor. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
