Our Best Ideas for Zucchini
There are so many reasons to look forward to summer, the abundance of fresh produce being one of them. We never want a single fruit or veggie to go to waste so we’re always racking our brains for the best ways to use them up. One thing that everyone always has on hand come summer is squash. Whether you’ve been growing zucchini in your garden, received a bunch in your CSA box or saw them in the produce aisle, there seems to be a never-ending supply throughout the warmer months. So how do you use up your zucchini? You can start by freezing some and then making the classics like zucchini bread or zoodles—but this summer squash can actually do so much more (even desserts!). Take this oven-baked zucchini Parm, for example. It's perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, no copious amounts of oil or deep frying necessary! We use the oven twice: first to crisp and brown the breaded zucchini and then later to warm the slices after they are topped with sauce and lots of fresh mozzarella and Parmesan until they're melted and bubbly. It’s an easy sheet pan summer recipe you’ll come back to again and again.
