BAKED ZUCCHINI PARMESAN
A lovely low-carb side dish. This is a great way to use up zucchini. You can use larger zucchinis as well, of course. Just cut them to size. Great recipe for all those summer zucchinis! Initially I had paprika in the seasoning, but I took it out of the recipe ingredients as it was the wrong flavor profile....now it's fine!
(weighed
after the ends are cut off)
3 tbsp light-tasting olive oil (45 mL)
3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (45 mL)
(the kind
in a can)
2 tbsp almond flour, OR use more Parmesan and reduce salt (30 mL)
1/2 tsp salt, OR to taste (2 mL)
1/4 tsp
black pepper (1 mL)
Preheat
oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice
each zucchini in half lengthwise and then each half again, so that you have 4
slices.
Place
the zucchini sticks on a greased cookie sheet.
Carefully drizzle the olive oil over each stick.
In
small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, almond flour, OR Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle each zucchini stick with this
mixture. Bake
15 minutes and then broil until browned. Watch carefully.
