Ingredients
- 4 large zucchini halved lengthwise
- ⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese fresh grated
- ¼ cup parsley finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a baking tray or sheet with non stick cooking oil spray.
- Arrange zucchini halves, cut side up, on the baking sheet. Set aside.
- Mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic in a small bowl.
- Pour in the melted butter, season with ¾ teaspoon salt and ⅓ teaspoon pepper (or to taste). Mix the ingredients together until the breadcrumbs absorb the butter (about 40 seconds).
- Spoon the mixture over each zucchini half, to evenly cover. Spray the topping with a little cooking oil spray.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the hot oven until the crust is golden and the zucchini halves are cooked through.
- Broil for a further 5 minutes on medium heat to crisp the topping.
- Garnish with parsley and serve as a side accompaniment to any main dish.
