Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim the stem end of the zucchini, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out a small channel of seeds with a regular teaspoon. Place the zucchini in one layer on a sheet pan, brush generously all over with olive oil and turn the zucchini cut-side down. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until just tender but still firm when tested with the tip of a small paring knife.
• Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the panko and 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil and mix well.
• Turn the zucchini cut-side up and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the panko mixture evenly on each zucchini. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the panko is crispy. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED ZUCCHINI, MUSHROOM AND EGGPLANT PARMESAN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Vegetables -- Thin slice the zucchini, lengthwise and then cut in half skin on, same with the eggplant. Then slice the portabellos the same way. Drizzle all with olive oil, salt and pepper and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper and cook 15-20 minutes until golden brown and 1/2 way cooked. Lightly soft but not over done. Remove and let cool.
• Sauce -- Add a little olive oil just a teaspoon to a pot and add the onion, garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the tomatoes, basil, parsley, a little salt and pepper and cook and just let simmer for 10-12 minutes as you prepare all the other ingredients.
• Topping -- Make the bread crumbs, just mix the bread crumbs and olive oil in a small bowl to combine.
• Sandwich time -- Now, we are making a sandwich basically. Three layers. First add a little sauce about 3/4 cup to the bottom of a small casserole dish. Then -- Eggplant (1 slice), sauce (just a tablespoon or so), and cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then zucchini, sauce (1 tablespoon or so), cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then mushrooms, sauce , cheese (1 slice of mozzarella and then 1 tablespoon of parmesan) and a sprinkle of bread crumbs. Then topped with eggplant, and the sauce. Divide among the 6 sandwiches and top well. Then top with bread crumbs, and parmesan.
• Bake -- at 350 for 30-40 minutes until nice and bubbly and bread crumbs are nice and brown. My oven takes around 30 minutes.

PARMESAN ROASTED ZUCCHINI ROUNDS

Steps:

• Line a baking tray with foil, and spray with non-stick spray. (Toaster oven works great for this if it has a baking tray).
• Arrange zucchini in a single layer and drizzle with olive oil, rub them down and turn to coat both sides with a thin coating of oil.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then top each round with a generous pinch of parmesan.
• Broil in 450 degree oven for 5-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden. (Cook times may vary depending on oven, so keep an eye on it).

GARLIC, LEMON AND PARMESAN OVEN ROASTED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Cut zucchini into thick wedges or halves (cut each zucchini in half then that half in half, so you have 4 wedges from each zucchini. Next time I might try to do just halves so the parmesan bakes more evenly, plus it would be easier to add the parmesan). In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, lemon zest and garlic. Align zucchini on prepared baking sheet spacing them evenly apart. Brush olive oil mixture over tops of zucchini (working to get some of the garlic/lemon zest on each piece and not just in one spot. It clumps together a little so just spread it out). Sprinkle tops with parmesan cheese (try to get as much of it on the tops as possible, you can pick up what was sprinkled off to the sides of the zucchini and add it to the tops) and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake in preheated oven 11 - 13 minutes then, adjust oven rack near top of oven and broil for several minutes until parmesan is golden brown. Serve warm. Recipe Source: adapted slightly from Liluna
