Notes
- If using extra large garden zucchini with tough seeds, slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
- Cut into ¾-inch slices if you prefer firmer zucchini or crispier edges.
- For a deeper flavor, add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese before serving if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to one month.
