Zucchini Bites

Have you ever planted zucchini plants are haves so much zucchini that you don't know what to do with it all.  I may have that problem this year; our zucchini plants are huge! And so far, the one plants in our garden actually produce normal (and larger) sized vegetables.  Usually we just steam our zucchini and sprinkle with dill and salt and pepper.  Or there is always zucchini bread.  But sometimes eating it the same way can be boring.  Why stalking around Facebook one day, I came across a yummy looking recipe for zucchini. And they were delicious! I can't take credit for the recipe (Thank you Gregg's Skinny Friends & Weight Loss on FB) I did however tweak it a little to make it gluten free and add some spice.


Here's a simplified recipe.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Cover cookie sheets with aluminium foil.

Slice zucchini about 1/4 inch thick.

Mix zucchini and olive oil in a bowl.  Enough olive oil to cover all the zucchini slices.

Mix together grated parmesan cheese, dill, Red Cayenne pepper, salt and pepper (Recipe doesn't call for dill or cayenne pepper, but i like spice)

Take a slices of zucchini (with oil on each side) and dip in the cheese mixture covering both sides.

Place the zucchini slices on your cookie sheet previously covered with aluminium foil.

Once all the zucchini are covered, take the left over cheese mixture and sprinkle on zucchini slices for a little extra.

Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-25 min. (Or until they look done) You don't need to flip them over. Just set the timer and wait.

And Enjoy!!!

The original recipe call for breadcrumbs, but I left them out to make them gluten free. And they were delicious! I think I'll keep making them without the bread crumbs.
