Italian Baked Zucchini

zucchini (or 3 large ones)

mozzarella (Try to use fresh if

olive oil

tsp kosher salt and pepper

Parmesan

Clean Zucchini

Heat Pan

Pre-heat a grill pan or a grill to medium heat. If you do not have either than pre-heat a large heavy bottom skillet

Cut Zucchini

Cut your zucchini lengthwise into 1/2 inch strips

Add Olive Oil

Add seasoning

Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and pepper

Cook

Once your grill or pan is ready, add your zucchini and cook for about 3 minutes per side.

Remove your zucchini from the pan and set aside

Heat Marinara

Gently heat your marinara sauce on low heat

Pre-heat your broiler on high heat

Grab a large oven safe baking dish

Assemble

Scoop 1/2 cup of your marinara sauce into the baking dish and spread it out evenly

Next, Add your zucchini slices into the dish side by side but not overlapping. You may need 2 baking dishes if your zucchini are larger.

Now take a tablespoon of your marinara and place on each slice of zucchini and spread it out. Keep doing this until all the zucchini has sauce

Now cut your mozzarella into thin strips and place over the zucchini. Don&#x27;t worry too much about neatness here since it all melts

Next, sprinkle your freshly grated parmesan evenly over top of this

Broil

Once your zucchini are all dressed with sauce and cheese, place the zucchini under the broiler until the cheese melts and is bubbly and just turning brown (about 3-4 minutes).

Remove from the oven and serve with a side of pasta and the remaining marinara sauce
