Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4-5 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/3 inch thick disks (about 5 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder, or 2 finely minced cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon Aleppo Chili Flakes (or regular chili flakes )
1/4 cup finely grated pecorino cheese (or sub parmesan or asiago)
6-8 torn basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F
  • Slice the zucchini into 1/3 inch disks. Place in a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, pepper and optional chili flakes. Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Lightly sprinkle each slice with 1/3 teaspoon grated pecorino.
  • Bake in the oven 18 minutes, check, and if need be, rotate, or tent lightly with foil (if getting too dark) and continue baking 5-10 minutes until fork tender. You want tops nicely golden and crispy with tender middles.

Tips:

  • Choose small, firm zucchini for the best flavor and texture.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly and evenly so that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the zucchini in a single layer. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the zucchini will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the zucchini over medium-high heat until it is golden brown and tender. This will take about 5 minutes per side.
  • Serve the zucchini immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Pronto zucchini is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy zucchini, and it can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give pronto zucchini a try!
