Parmesan Zucchini
Description
This recipe uses medium zucchini sliced into rounds about a quarter to half inch thick, evenly coated in olive oil. The seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper enhances the zucchini’s natural taste. Generous topping with fresh Parmesan cheese adds a rich, salty note and a crispy texture once baked.
The baking process starts at a high temperature to tenderize the zucchini slices, and finishing under a broiler melts and browns the cheese for a golden crust. The result is tender zucchini with a bubbly, slightly crisp Parmesan topping, making it a flavorful vegetable side dish.
Parmesan Zucchini pairs well with roasted meats, grilled proteins, or as part of a vegetable medley. It can be served warm right from the oven to enjoy the contrast of soft interior and crisp cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini sliced into 1/4 to 1/2 inch rounds
