Liked the zucchini baked with Parmesan
Every recipe i
tried was delicious and simple to make. thanks for sharing all these wonderful dishes with us.
Very good, husband loves it so it’s a keeper!
So simple to make and we loved them.
Loving your recipes, especially all EZ PZ they all seem to be. Just one question in reference to the Parmesan Garlic Roasted Zucchini. The recipe reads to place on top rack. Does this mean top rack positioned in the center of the oven, or do I need to move the top rack up to the highest position on my oven.
Txs a bunch for your reply and I’m looking forward to more of your amazing recipes.
The top rack in my oven is positioned somewhere between the center and the highest position.
This was super easy ti make and they were so delicious. Will make again for sure.
Hello. We are trying your recipe for the first time tonight. The instructions state to set the oven to broil, but does not specify Hi or Low. Which is it? Out of precaution I set it to Low since it’s a vegetable so we shall see if I guessed right. I was trying to find a low carb way to bake these and still have flavor, that is how I found your recipe. Most recipes I came across used bread crumbs, panko and/or flour as a coating. Hope my family enjoys this. I shall follow up soon.
Thanks!
I set mine on High, but it should work either way as long as you keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
can you use a different kind of cheese instead of grated parmesan or can I sprinkle with the dry parmesan that comes in a shaker container?
You can use any grated or shredded cheese, including the dry parmesan in a shaker container.
I would not use parmigiano from the can. I usually grate it myself.
These were the best courgette recipe I have tried!
I would not recommend using parchment paper under the broiler, due to the risk of fire. I speak from experience. LOL. I would use foil which is easier to manipulate or just grease the sheet pan.
Pamela, so true! I just found that out. I put it on broil high and when I checked it, the parchment paper was in flames! I was able to salvage the zucchini which was delicious! I love Melanie’s recipes.
I should have read all of the comments before I tried this recipe. I had the same issue with the parchment paper.
Very easy and delicious
This is the best low-carb treat ever!
Love how easy and tasty these baked zucchini wedges are.
Great for a low-carb side dish for me
Such a delicious way to enjoy zucchini crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor.
