Baked Zucchini
Ingredients:
• 2 lbs. zucchini (about 6 small or 4 medium), sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, finely minced (2 tsp)
• 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
• 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.
