BAKED ZUCCHINI WITH MOZZARELLA RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Baked Zucchini With Mozzarella Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Pattywak

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 medium sized (or about 5 small) zucchini
Garlic spread and seasoning
2 C shredded mozzarella cheese I used a bled of Monterrey and cheddar and I didn't measure the cheese, just put on what looked good)

Steps:

  • . Slice your zucchini up into 1/2 inch rings. 2. Lay them out flat on a large cookie sheet. Sprinkle with Garlic Seasoning and a bit of salt. 3. Bake in the oven at 350 for about 10-15 minutes or until crisp tender. 4. Take the hot pan out of the oven and sprinkle the zucchini with cheese. Turn the oven to broil, throw that cookie sheet back into the oven and let the cheese get all bubbly and a bit browned. This should only take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful here. Broiling things in the oven can get out of control in a fast hurry. (my trick for broiling is to not move the rack up, I just keep it in the middle of the oven and things are less likely to burn. It may take a minute longer, but no burnt food)

ROASTED ZUCCHINI WITH GARLICKY BREAD CRUMBS AND MOZZARELLA



Roasted Zucchini With Garlicky Bread Crumbs and Mozzarella image

In this highly zesty recipe, thick slices of zucchini are broiled until golden and tender, then topped with milky mozzarella and bread crumbs flecked with anchovy and garlic. While it bakes, the cheese melts, the crumbs crisp and the whole thing becomes vaguely reminiscent of a lighter parmigiana - but without the frying. If you're feeding more than two, this recipe can be doubled. Just make sure to use two rimmed baking pans so the zucchini doesn't overlap and become soggy. If you have Castelvetrano olives, use them here; they add nice crunch and color.

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
4 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks
Fine sea salt
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 anchovy fillets, minced
1 garlic clove, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence or dried oregano
Pinch of red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
4 ounces mozzarella, grated (about 1 cup)
Black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped, pitted black or green olives
2 tablespoons torn basil or parsley leaves
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Brush a rimmed sheet pan with olive oil, then lay the zucchini out in an even layer. Brush zucchini with more oil and sprinkle generously with salt.
  • Broil until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip and broil until golden in spots, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together bread crumbs, Parmesan, anchovies, garlic, herbes de Provence or oregano, red-pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 2 tablespoons oil and use your fingers to rub oil, garlic and anchovies into the crumbs.
  • When zucchini is browned on both sides, turn off broiler and set oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle zucchini with mozzarella, then bread crumb mixture; generously drizzle with oil. Bake until cheese melts and bread crumbs turn golden, about 4 minutes.
  • Grind black pepper over top and drizzle with more oil, if needed. Top zucchini with olives, basil and additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.
