This baked zucchini recipe is made with fresh zucchini, seasoned to perfection, and topped with Parmesan cheese.
I stopped smoking about a month ago and have been trying to come up with ways to snack and not put on weight. So far, so good. However, I have had to get creative to keep my taste buds happy. Two of my favorite recipes are the Parmesan Squash recipe I recently posted and this recipe for baked zucchini.
Additionally, you are free to swap, add, or subject any seasonings that your taste buds don’t agree with.
