Baked Zucchini

We still have zucchini coming out of our ears in our little garden! I saw this recipe on Food Network and made it to go with dinner last night. It was good and easy. Yet another way to use up all that zucchini!

Baked Zucchini

food network

1 tsp olive oil

1 lb zucchini, sliced about 1/4 inch thick

kosher salt and pepper

pinch of paprika

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tbsp olive oil

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush 1 tsp of olive oil on the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish. Arrange sliced zucchini in the dish with an overlapping pattern. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.

To make the topping, combine panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, thyme and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and stir until bread crumbs are soaked with a yellow tint of the oil. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the dish and bake until the topping is golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
