Do you still have some zucchini that needs to get used? A bumper crop perhaps?
We made the most delicious zucchini side dish that was so simple, but so flavorful. We love roasting veggies, and zucchini is not excluded. I brushed the Parmesan Baked Zucchini Rounds with a little olive oil, seasoned with a little garlic salt, topped with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, baked them, and broiled them till they were golden brown.
My favorite part of Parmesan Baked Zucchini Rounds is the amazing browned cheese on top of the zucchini. Is there anything better than melted cheese? I mean, I am from Wisconsin so I am likely biased, but that doesn't mean I am wrong. The addition of the garlic salt, and seasonings really put the flavors over the top for me. I am a little sad summer is coming to an end, and the abundance of zucchini will come to an end. I have not tried doing a pizza style roasted zucchini, but I have a few friends that swear by a little pizza sauce, cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepperoni..... I am going to have to put it on my list before my zucchini stash is gone.
