Zucchini in the oven with cheese and garlic PP

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake PP zucchini with cheese and garlic in the oven? Prepare all ingredients according to the list. For the recipe, it is better to take young zucchini with thin skin. Any cheese will suit your taste. This time I used store-bought grated Gouda cheese.

2. STEP 2

   

   So, grate the cheese on a grater with medium or fine teeth. Peel the garlic and pass through a press. Mix grated cheese and chopped garlic. This will make it easier to distribute the cheese and garlic on the surface of the zucchini. I often use garlic powder for recipes; it mixes evenly with grated cheese and makes cooking in the future much more convenient.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add your favorite spices to the cheese. You can use ground paprika, dry basil and thyme. I took 0.25 tsp of each seasoning. Mix everything well until smooth.

4. STEP 4

   

   Rinse and dry the zucchini. Cut off the attachment points of the stalk. If you have mature zucchini, peel off the skin and remove the seeds inside. Cut the vegetable into thin slices, as in the photo.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the zucchini in a baking dish. Drizzle olive or vegetable oil on top. Add salt to taste if necessary. I usually don’t add salt since the cheese itself is salty.

6. STEP 6

   

   Sprinkle an even layer of herbed cheese and garlic on top. Place the baking dish in a preheated oven and leave until done. The time and temperature depend entirely on the capabilities of your oven. I baked at 200 degrees for about 20 minutes, using the “top-bottom” mode, then set the “convection” mode and left for another 5 minutes until the cheese browned.

7. STEP 7

   

   Garnish the finished dish with fresh herbs and serve.

8. STEP 8

   

   Zucchini in the oven with cheese and garlic is very tasty hot or cold.

I was very happy about the appearance of a new recipe for zucchini in the oven with cheese and garlic. I love such simple PP recipes, there is minimal effort, but the result is very tasty. I also liked that the zucchini did not fall apart, remained slightly crispy and kept its shape perfectly. I did not sprinkle hard cheese on top, but brine cheese. Mixed it with garlic and dried basil. I didn’t add salt to the zucchini, because the cheese was salty enough. I also baked it for 20 minutes and 5 minutes under the grill. The result was a beautiful golden brown crust. The zucchini is delicious, spicy and light, perfect for dinner and snacking!

Super recipe!! Great idea with dried garlic!! Thank you very much) Without any problems, it turned out to be a delicious, aromatic dish, the main thing, of course, is the cheese. Neutral zucchini will absorb all the taste and sharpness of the cheese. I made it at the dacha, the aroma came out, and the neighbors were already alarmed - what am I baking so interesting)))

The zucchini turned out delicious, but I made a few notes for myself. The pieces need to be cut a little thicker than I did; they shrink in size in the oven. And this time I overdid it with the additives. I realized that the cheese should set off the delicate sweetness of the zucchini, but for me the taste of spices prevailed. I give the highest score because... The recipe is worth a try. Thank you, Pearl.

What does “PP” mean in your recipe? It appears in many places, but I couldn’t figure it out
