This is a lovely and easy way to use zucchini as a snack or side.
Serves: 4-6
3 medium sized zucchini (about 1½ pounds)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp grated lemon peel
1 garlic clove, minced
½ tsp oregano
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Cut the zucchini lengthwise into quarters, then cut in half widthwise.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
Lay the zucchini on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon peel, garlic, and oregano.
Drizzle over the zucchini spears. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
To give more of a crisp edge, broil for the last 3 minutes.
