ROASTED ZUCCHINI WITH GARLICKY BREAD CRUMBS AND MOZZARELLA



Roasted Zucchini With Garlicky Bread Crumbs and Mozzarella image

In this highly zesty recipe, thick slices of zucchini are broiled until golden and tender, then topped with milky mozzarella and bread crumbs flecked with anchovy and garlic. While it bakes, the cheese melts, the crumbs crisp and the whole thing becomes vaguely reminiscent of a lighter parmigiana - but without the frying. If you're feeding more than two, this recipe can be doubled. Just make sure to use two rimmed baking pans so the zucchini doesn't overlap and become soggy. If you have Castelvetrano olives, use them here; they add nice crunch and color.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
4 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks
Fine sea salt
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 anchovy fillets, minced
1 garlic clove, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence or dried oregano
Pinch of red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
4 ounces mozzarella, grated (about 1 cup)
Black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped, pitted black or green olives
2 tablespoons torn basil or parsley leaves
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Brush a rimmed sheet pan with olive oil, then lay the zucchini out in an even layer. Brush zucchini with more oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
  • Broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and broil until golden in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together bread crumbs, Parmesan, anchovies, garlic, herbes de Provence or oregano, red-pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 2 tablespoons oil and use your fingers to rub oil, garlic and anchovies into the crumbs.
  • When zucchini is browned on both sides, turn off broiler and set oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle zucchini with mozzarella, then bread crumb mixture; generously drizzle with oil. Bake until cheese melts and bread crumbs turn golden, about 4 minutes.
  • Grind black pepper over top and drizzle with more oil, if needed. Top zucchini with olives, basil and additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Select firm, tender zucchini: Look for zucchini that are deep green in color and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have soft spots or bruises.
  • Slice zucchini evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the zucchini, make sure to leave enough space between the slices so that they can brown properly.
  • Season the zucchini well: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for zucchini, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Try garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.
  • Use high-quality mozzarella cheese: Fresh, whole-milk mozzarella cheese will melt beautifully and provide a delicious flavor to the dish.
  • Serve immediately: Zucchini and mozzarella are best served hot out of the oven. They can be garnished with fresh basil or parsley.

Conclusion:

This Zucchini Mozzarella Medley is a quick and easy vegetarian dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up zucchini from your garden. The zucchini and mozzarella are roasted in the oven until tender and slightly browned, and then topped with a balsamic glaze. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is simply delicious. Serve it as a main course or side dish, and enjoy!
