25+ Best zucchini recipes: Baked Zucchini Recipe with Parmesan and Thyme image

On my list of easy zucchini recipes above, you'll find sides, snacks, casseroles, and more! To get started, try this fan-favorite baked zucchini recipe with thyme and parmesan cheese! Serve these zucchini spears hot out of the oven, alongside some tzatziki for a tasty appetizer.

Provided by Suzy Karadsheh

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 zucchini, (trimmed and cut length-wise into quarters (sticks))
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, (no stems)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix together the grated Parmesan, thyme, and spices in a medium bowl.
  • Prepare a large baking sheet that's topped with a wire baking rack. Lightly brush the wire baking rack with extra virgin olive oil (or use a healthy cooking spray.) Place the zucchini spears, skin-side down, on the baking rack in a single layer. Brush each one with extra virgin olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the herb and cheese topping on each zucchini stick so they are all lightly coated.
  • Bake in the heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. For a crispy golden topping, broil for 2 to 3 minutes more. Watch it carefully so the zucchini does not burn.
  • Serve immediately as an appetizer with a dipping sauce, or as a side next to your protein of choice.

MEDITERRANEAN STUFFED ZUCCHINI



Mediterranean Stuffed Zucchini image

Here's a delicious way to solve the problem of those too-big zucchinis ballooning in your garden at the end of the summer: zucchini boats baked and stuffed with lamb, feta, pine nuts, tomatoes, and more. It's just like your mother used to make, but with an exotic Mediterranean twist!

Provided by Larry Short

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Main Dish Recipes     Stuffed Zucchini Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 extra large zucchini, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 sweet onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 pound ground lamb
coarse salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
2 tomatoes, chopped
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup pine nuts
¼ cup mint leaves
¼ cup water
¼ cup mint leaves
¾ cup seasoned bread crumbs
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Use a melon baller to separate and remove seeds and pulp separately from the zucchini, carving out each half and leaving about a half-inch shell. Chop zucchini pulp into pieces about 1/4 inch in diameter. Discard seeds.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until tender, about 5 minutes. Add ground lamb; continue to cook and stir until lamb is lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir chopped zucchini into the lamb mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer mixture until the zucchini is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain excess grease. Season lamb mixture with coarse salt and black pepper.
  • Remove skillet from heat. Stir tomato sauce, tomatoes, feta cheese, pine nuts, and 1/4 cup mint leaves through the lamb mixture; spoon into the zucchini halves. Put stuffed zucchini halves into a large baking dish. Pour water into the baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Mix bread crumbs and mozzarella cheese in a bowl. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mint leaves over the zucchini and top with the bread crumb mixture. Continue baking until the top is crusty and browned, about 10 minutes more.
