I love zucchini. It’s a green vegetable with a creamy, almost buttery, texture when baked. Top it with a little pepper and salty Parmesan, and well you’ve got yourself a tasty treat. But let’s take this one step further and serve it with a side of marinara dipping sauce. Oh my goodness! Guiltless indulgence is like an oxymoron when it comes to healthy eating… but it does exist!
As organic as possible:
Snack serves 2 (or a hungry 1)
Olive oil cooking spray
2 Medium Zucchini, washed, dried and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
3 oz. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Coarse Kosher salt
Freshly ground Black pepper
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly sprayed with olive oil. Place zucchini rounds on the oil-misted parchment paper, not touching eachother. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pinch a tiny mound of Parmesan cheese to top each slice of zucchini. Place baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until Parmesan turns golden brown. Serve warm with a side of marinara. (And maybe an iced glass of S.Pellegrino?) Indulge.
Yum! I would have the S. Pellegrino with it too, lol.
Awesome! ?
These looks delicious! Great idea. I’ve never made these before, definitely need to try this! 🙂
A really tasty and healthy snack, a win/win! Thanks Peter!
I will definitely keep your recipe on hand for when zucchini season – and the neighbors – strike. Looks delicious.
