Mary’s Zucchini with Parmesan

Simple and delicious, in this recipe the almost caramelized zucchini are topped with a Parmesan crust. Serve the zucchini like a wedge of pizza, straight from the pan, with the cheese-side up. We named this recipe Mary’s Zucchini after the mom of one of our former Test Kitchen managers. It’s perfect for just-picked zucchini. Source: EatingWell Magazine, August/September 2005
