Description

Discover the tastiest, healthiest, best-baked zucchini recipes that are easy to make! These recipes, ranging from crispy zucchini fries to zucchini boats with cheese, make a wonderful side dish or a light main meal.

Ingredients

4 medium Zucchini ends Trimmed (Quartered Lengthwise)
1/3 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
1 1/2 tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Chopped Fresh Herbs (such as Parsley, Basil, Dill, or a Mix)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a cooling rack with nonstick spray and place it on a rimmed baking sheet.
2
In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3
Place the zucchini in a large bowl. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan mixture. Toss to coat, then arrange the zucchini on top of the cooling rack on the prepared baking sheet, being careful not to overlap the spears.
4
Place in the oven and bake until the zucchini is tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the oven to broil. Cook until the Parmesan is lightly crisp on top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Don’t walk away! The second you stop watching the cheese, it might start to burn.
5
Remove the zucchini from the oven and immediately squeeze the lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with herbs. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
