Zucchini Bake Recipes

BAKED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For optionally for easier clean up line a rimmed 18 by 13-inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a small mixing bowl stir together olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper (I use about 3/4 to 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper).
• Place zucchini coins in a large mixing bowl. Pour oil mixture over zucchini and toss well until evenly coated.
• Pour onto baking sheet then spread out into a single layer. Top with parmesan.
• Bake in preheated oven until just starting to soften about 7 - 9 minutes. Remove zucchini and transfer oven rack closer to broiler. Preheat broiler.
• Let broil until cheese is golden brown and zucchini is tender, about 2 - 3 minutes longer (keep a close eye on it).
• Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

QUICK AND EASY BAKED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 240°C / 450°F (220°C fan) with the oven shelf set high in the oven.
• Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut medium zucchinis in quarters lengthwise, and large ones into sixths (halve then cut each half into 3 lengthwise to make 6 long "wedges").
• Pile zucchini on a tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Toss.
• Line up in two rows so they're touching each other, with the skin side down.
• Sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs, then parmesan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.
• Bake 12 minutes until the parmesan is golden and zucchini is soft but not soggy.
• Serve immediately!

BAKED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Brush 1 teaspoon olive oil on the bottom of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Arrange the slices of zucchini in the dish with an overlapping pattern in rows or a spiral in a pie dish. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and paprika.
• To make the topping: In a bowl, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, thyme, Parmesan cheese and season with a sprinkle of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and stir until all the breadcrumbs are soaked with the yellow tint of the oil. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the dish and bake until the top is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
