Zucchini And Squash Parmesan Recipes

Steps:

• To cook the onions: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until limp and golden brown, about 20 minute Reduce the heat to medium-low if they're browning too quickly.
• Add the garlic and sauté until soft and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Spread the onions and garlic evenly in the bottom of an oiled 2-quart shallow gratin dish (preferably oval).
• Let cool.
• To assemble the gratin: Heat the oven to 375°F.
• Put the tomato slices on a shallow plate to drain for a few minutes and then discard the collected juices.
• In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini and squash slices with 1-1/2 Tbsp of the olive oil, 2 Tbsp of the thyme, and 1/2 teaspoons of the salt.
• Reserve half of the cheese for the top of the gratin.
• Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of the thyme over the onions in the gratin.
• Starting at one end of the baking dish, lay a row of slightly overlapping tomato slices across the width of the dish and sprinkle with a little of the cheese.
• Next, lay a row of zucchini, overlapping the tomatoes by two-thirds, and sprinkle with cheese.
• Repeat with a row of squash, and then repeat rows, sprinkling each with cheese, until the gratin is full.
• Season lightly with pepper and the remaining 1/2 tsp salt.
• Drizzle the remaining 1-1/2 Tbsp olive oil over all.
• Combine the reserved cheese with the remaining 1 Tbsp thyme and sprinkle this over the whole gratin.
• Cook until well-browned all over and the juices have bubbled for a while and reduced considerably, 65 to 70 minutes.
• Let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Coat the bottom of a glass dish or metal pan with olive oil.
• Place the cut zucchini and squash slices in the dish.
• Drizzle olive oil on top of the vegetables.
• Sprinkle grated cheese on top.
• Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt and pepper on top.
• Bake for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the zucchini, squash, Italian seasoning and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini and squash are tender and beginning to brown in some spots, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
• Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Slice zucchini slices (about 1/2″ thick)
• Place zucchini in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil
• Shake to coat zucchini with olive oil
• Add parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
• Shake to coat.
• Place in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat.
• Sprinkle with an additional 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese
• Bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, finish on a low broil for another couple of minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Place squash in a large bowl. Add oil and seasonings; toss to coat., In a shallow bowl, mix bread crumbs and cheese. Dip squash in crumb mixture to coat both sides, patting to help coating adhere. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, rotating pans halfway through baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large pot boil the zucchini until tender; drain. Meanwhile, in a medium frying pan heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the onion and garlic until the onion is tender.
• Combine the zucchini, onion and garlic in a 9x12 inch casserole dish, and mix well. Pour the spaghetti sauce over the mixture and stir well. Top with mozzarella cheese (use more or less depending on your preference).
• Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray a 15 1/2x10 1/2-inch rimmed baking pan with vegetable cooking spray.
• Mix olive oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add zucchini and toss to coat. Spread zucchini in a single layer on the prepared pan.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until zucchini is tender but not too soft, 15 to 18 minutes.
