ingredients
- 1 lb zucchini, trimmed
- 2 ounces mint leaves, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 3 ounces dried breadcrumbs
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 1⁄2 ounces parmesan cheese, grated
directions
- Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the soft seeds inside. Sprinkle the zucchini halves lightly with salt then put them on a wooden board, cut side down for 20 minutes. This will let some of the liquid drain away.
- Heat the oven to 350°F Put the herbs in a bowl with the garlic, breadcrumbs and cheese. Add half the oil while mixing with a fork and season.
- Oil a shallow baking dish large enough to hold all the zucchini halves in a single layer. Wipe down the zucchini to remove the excess liquid and lay them in a dish cut-side up. Spoon a little of the herb mixture over each half, and drizzle a little oil over the halves.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the zucchini are tender and crisp on top (another 10-20 minutes depending on size).
- Drizzle the zucchini with a little oil as they come out of the oven. Serve warm or at room temperature.
