Makes 4 servings
Serving size: 1 zucchini
Instructions
 Combine garlic, oregano, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside. |
 Shaved Parmesan cheese with a vegetable peeler. |
 Using the hasselback technique, cutting partially into a whole zucchini every 1/4 inch or so. You can use two wooden spoons or chopsticks on each side of the zucchini to help with the cutting to prevent accidentally cutting through. |
 Place the zucchini on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Brush the zucchini with the olive oil mixture. |
 Place a slice of the shaved Parmesan in each slit.
Bake at a 425F oven 25 to 30 minutes or until zucchini is tender. |
This looks amazing! and easy!!! What is the accompanying side next to it though? It looks so delicious as well.
