When I’m eating “clean”, I’ll just steam my veggies and if they are fresh, they are delicious. BUT adding seasoning and texture to a simple vegetable like zucchini, just makes them so much better. This is a fast and easy preparation and one everyone loves… even the kids! There is lots of flavor with the addition of olive oil and cheese and the light crunch on top makes these perfect. This recipe makes six stacks of zucchini which is a great side dish for two. Simple double it and use a 12 cup muffin tin to feed four.
I’ll serve these with any kind of poultry or steak. You can play with the cheeses you use too. So use what you have and what you enjoy. If you like these, be sure to check out my other side dish recipes and if you like zucchini, don’t miss all my Zucchini Boat recipes.
