Zucchini

Garden season is in full swing here!  We have quite a bit of zucchini already.  Fortunately we have neighbors who like zucchini but do not grow it.  Still I have been looking for creative ways to use it up.  I shredded some and froze it to make cranberry zucchini muffins later.  I have sauteed it with onions and yellow squash. 

My aunt tried out a recipe for baking slices of zucchini and raved about how delicious it was.  I tried it myself last week.  Yum!  Both my husband and I thought it was delicious, and I will be making it again. 

I sliced the zucchini lengthwise and placed it on a baking sheet.  I topped the slices with salt and pepper, Parmesan cheese, and added bacon bits to a couple.

These were baked at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.  I just kept poking them with a fork until they felt tender.  The bacon bits were a nice addition but not necessary.  This is a great way to serve zucchini if you have an abundance this garden season!
