Zucchini slices in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking zucchini. Choose young zucchini, with thin skin and without large seeds. Any variety will do; it will not affect the taste of the finished dish. You can make your own breadcrumbs from dried bread. Choose cheese that melts well. Oil - sunflower or olive, refined. Choose spices to your taste. Instead of fresh, you can use dried garlic.

2. STEP 2

   

   Grate the cheese on a fine grater. Peel the garlic, rinse, remove the stems and dry with a towel. Chop the garlic with a garlic press or grate it on a fine grater. Take a container (deep plate, bowl) in which it will be convenient to mix breading products and roll in pieces of zucchini. Place breadcrumbs, cheese, garlic, salt and spices into it.

3. STEP 3

   

   Mix everything until smooth. Turn on the oven to preheat at 180 degrees.

4. STEP 4

   

   If, when gently pressed with a fingernail, the peel is easily pierced, there is no need to peel the zucchini. If the peel is hard, carefully remove it with a vegetable peeler or knife. Remove the “tails” from the zucchini, rinse under running water and dry with towels. Cut into oblong slices.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the chopped zucchini in a deep bowl, pour in vegetable oil and mix well. The oil should be evenly distributed.

6. STEP 6

   

   Dip each piece in breading. If it crumbles, press it carefully - it will hold on. The more of it on the zucchini, the tastier it turns out. Do this with all the pieces.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the zucchini pieces spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you are not sure about the non-stick properties of parchment, grease it with vegetable oil. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven at 180-190 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Cooking time depends on the capabilities of your oven, so check the degree of doneness. Cooked zucchini should be soft. Check by piercing in several places with a fork.

I saw a recipe for zucchini slices in the oven and was tempted, it was something new. But I couldn’t cook such beautiful zucchini as the author’s. I encountered the problem that breadcrumbs and cheese did not stick properly to the buttered pieces of zucchini. As a result, the cheese dried out, and the crackers in the finished dish tended to crumble. Although the dish tastes very good. But for some reason I didn’t make friends with this recipe; perhaps I should have poured more oil on the zucchini.
