Zucchini Tini Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the grated Parmesan, thyme, and spices in a medium bowl.
• Prepare a large baking sheet that's topped with a wire baking rack. Lightly brush the wire baking rack with extra virgin olive oil (or use a healthy cooking spray.) Place the zucchini spears, skin-side down, on the baking rack in a single layer. Brush each one with extra virgin olive oil.
• Sprinkle the herb and cheese topping on each zucchini stick so they are all lightly coated.
• Bake in the heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. For a crispy golden topping, broil for 2 to 3 minutes more. Watch it carefully so the zucchini does not burn.
• Serve immediately as an appetizer with a dipping sauce, or as a side next to your protein of choice.
