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. |

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. |
