Baked Parmesan Zucchini
Report
Baked Parmesan Zucchini features zucchini quarters coated with a blend of Parmesan cheese and herbs baked until tender and finished under the broiler for a crispy golden crust. Olive oil adds richness, and fresh parsley provides a bright garnish. This preparation highlights the natural moistness of zucchini with savory, aromatic seasoning.
Description
This recipe roasts quartered zucchini coated in a mixture of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and seasoning. The zucchini is first baked at 350°F until tender, which softens it while retaining shape. A brief broil at the end crisps the Parmesan and herbs, creating a flavorful crust. The olive oil drizzle helps the cheese blend and develop a golden color. Fresh parsley sprinkled on top adds a fresh herbal note.
Baked Parmesan Zucchini can be served immediately as a lightly crisp, tender vegetable side dish. The combination of herbs and crisp cheese complements hearty mains, making it suitable for everyday meals.
