Your rating: None Average: 4 (67 votes)

This is how our Test Kitchen Manager's mom prepares her just-picked zucchini. Simple and delicious, the almost caramelized zucchini are topped with a Parmesan crust. Serve Mary's zucchini like a wedge of pizza, straight from the pan, with the cheese-side up.


READER'S COMMENT:
"We make this for lunch a lot. Even my 20 month old will eat it. Mine never stick together "like a pizza" which is fine. Sometimes I also use goat cheese, just top the zucchini with it after I take it out of the pan. "
