Cheesy Garlic Zucchini Steaks
Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchinis. Cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Alternatively, you can slice them lengthwise if you prefer larger pieces.
- Season Zucchini: Place the zucchini slices in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Roast Zucchini: Roast the zucchini in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until they start to become tender.
- Prepare Garlic Mixture: While the zucchini is roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a little more olive oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add Garlic to Zucchini: After the zucchini has been roasting for 15 minutes, remove it from the oven. Sprinkle the sautéed garlic evenly over the zucchini slices.
- Add Cheese and Herbs: Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the zucchini slices. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Then sprinkle the dried oregano and basil over the top.
- Broil: Return the zucchini to the oven and broil on high for an additional 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and starts to turn golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Serve warm.
