Number Of Ingredients 7

2 - medium zucchinis
1 - tablespoon olive oil
1/2 - teaspoon sesame oil
3 - teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
2 - tablespoons parmesan cheese from shaker
1 - teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 - teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Wash and trim the zucchini, peeling about half of a zucchini and leaving the rest of the peeling on. Slice the zucchini in half lengthwise into two pieces, then slice each half again. Now take each of the four pieces and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Make as uniform as possible. Prepare the second zucchini the same way.
  • Take a ziplock bag and put the oils, sesame seeds, cheese, and spices in it, add the zucchini slices. Press the air out of the bag , close it, and knead the zucchini and the oil mixture until all the zucchini slices are covered evenly.
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Don't grease it. Spread the zucchini in a single layer on the parchment paper.
  • Bake the zucchini in the oven for about 20 minutes. The time will depend on your oven, climate and personal preference on how done you want it. After 15 minutes, check every two minutes until it is to your liking. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
  • Optional ingredient: Add 1 small diced tomato, room temperature to the bowl of zucchini, toss before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose small to medium-sized zucchinis as they tend to have fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the zucchinis evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • You can use any type of cooking oil for this recipe, but olive oil is a good choice as it adds a nice flavor to the zucchini.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the zucchini in a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Zucchini cooked in this way can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
  • Try experimenting with different herbs and spices to find your favorite combination.
  • Leftover zucchini can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
