Zucchini Spears with Parmesan Cheese

This recipe has been modified from a recipe I saw on:
damndelicious.net - some great recipes here! 



Serves 4 













Ingredients 

1 TBS olive oil 
2 medium sized zucchinis, cut into quarters lengthwise 
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese 
1/4 tsp dried thyme (or fresh) 
1/4 tsp dried oregano (or fresh) 
1/4 tsp dried basil (or fresh) 
1/8 tsp garlic powder (or 1 clove finely minced) 
Salt & Pepper to taste 
1 TBS fresh parsley, finely chopped 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a cooling rack with Pam or brush with olive oil. 
Place the cooling rack on a baking sheet and set aside. 

Cut the zucchinis into quarters. Cut off the ends. 
Brush the spears with the olive oil. 

In a small bowl, mix the herbs, parmesan, and garlic together. Sprinkle this mixture on the zucchinis. 

Bake for about 15-17 minutes (do not over cook). The spears should still be a little firm. Then broil for 2 minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Zucchini will taste bitter and get mushy if it is overcooked. 

Serve with fresh parsley garnish. 

These are also delicious cold in a salad.
