Parmesan Zucchini
Parmesan Zucchini consists of sliced zucchini rounds tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then topped generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before baking. The zucchini becomes tender with a slight caramelized edge, while the cheese melts and browns under the broiler, creating a crisp, golden finish. This simple preparation highlights the fresh flavor of zucchini enhanced by the savory, nutty Parmesan.
