Ingredients You Need for Baked Zucchini

Olive oil– you need some kind of binder to allow all of your ingredients to stick to the zucchini. We highly recommend olive oil but you can use any choice of oil that you would like. Zucchinis– zucchinis come in all shapes and sizes. You are going to need 4 medium-sized zucchinis (~6-8 inches). Parmesan cheese- finely grated parmesan is what you’re looking for. We do not recommend using shredded parmesan. It tends not to stay stuck to the zucchini, Spices– we used a spice blend of garlic, salt (kosher salt or table salt), pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
