ROASTED ZUCCHINI WITH GARLICKY BREAD CRUMBS AND MOZZARELLA
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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Trim the stem end of the zucchini, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a small channel of seeds with a regular teaspoon. Place the zucchini in one layer on a sheet pan, brush generously all over with olive oil and turn the zucchini cut-side down. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until just tender but still firm when tested with the tip of a small paring knife.
- Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the panko and 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil and mix well.
- Turn the zucchini cut-side up and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the panko mixture evenly on each zucchini. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the panko is crispy. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

BAKED ZUCCHINI WITH MOZZARELLA RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Number Of Ingredients 3
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)

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place carrots and shallots on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil until well coated. Roast for 25 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. (The shallots will start to shrivel and brown at the edges, but they won't be cooked through yet.)
- In a small bowl, stir together bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic, red-pepper flakes, remaining 3 tablespoons oil and a pinch of salt, tossing until well combined.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and olives all over carrots and shallots, then top with the seasoned bread crumbs. Continue to roast until the vegetables are golden brown and tender, 12 to 15 minutes longer. Just before serving, drizzle lemon juice all over the top and garnish with herbs.
Tips:
- Choose medium-sized zucchini for even cooking and a tender texture.
- Slice the zucchini lengthwise for a larger surface area to hold the breadcrumb mixture.
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily make the breadcrumb mixture.
- Add some grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Bake the zucchini until it is tender and slightly browned, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve the roasted zucchini immediately with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.
