    I was so excited to try this but when I went to the store I found that shredded Parmesan cheese was $5!! That doesn’t sound like much but for a broke nursing student thats a lot to spend for just a snack for me. Not very budget saavy. 🙁

    • Budget Savvy Diva

      Wow!!! That is NOT the right price… 8 oz of Parmesan should run you between 1.50 – 2.50 …. Plus you would only use maybe an ounce or two … You can freeze the rest = Budget Savvy 🙂

      • Janet Masters

        Depends on where you live, if it is in Australia yes the price would be exy.

    • deb

      It is a lot cheaper if you buy a little chunk and shred it yourself. Simple to do, and like was already said, label it and stick it in the freezer.

      • Theresa

        I agree, and fresh is always better. After I shred the cheese I put the remainder in a food saver bag and seal it. Stays fresh for months and ready for use in a minutes notice:)

    • Maureen L

      Always a victim! Get over it.

      • Christina

        Ah, why so mean? The comment was from 2012 anyway. lol.

  • Debbie

    I’ve made my zucchini this way for years, but to add just a bit more flavor, instead of using olive oil, brush the zucchini with Italian salad dressing…yum!

    That was delicious!

  • Kay

    I made these but I sprinkled a few Panko bread crumbs on top for a little crunchiness. They were delicious.

  • Heather W.

    Made these last night, but instead of using parm, I used a Mexican blend of cheeses and added taco seasoning to the mix. Perfect compliment to the turkey tacos I served for dinner. Yum!!!

  • tammy

    thinking a little spaghetti sauce would make them tasty

  • Sherrybc

    Great.

    • Sherrybc

      Great!

  • KareninStLouis

    Recipe says to cut each zucchini lengthwise into quarters, but in the photos it appears each zucchini was cut in half lengthwise. Which is correct?

    • Lemur

      Both, you make four long strips cutting along the length.

  • Susan

    The Zucchini is almost ready in the garden. I am looking forward to trying this. I’m going to try it with the bread crumbs added. sounds great.

  • Geri

    I mix fresh chopped basil garlic grape tomatoes mozzarella cheese and a little olive oil sea salt and pepperset aside as a filling, at400 degrees bake zucchini that’s been cut length wise and seeds hollowed out brush with olive oil and sea salt till almost done (15mins) or so then pullout and put filling into zucchini boats and bake till cheese melts…yummy

    • Geri

    We tried this tonight! YUMMMM-definitely going into the rotation of sides! Budget-friendly side note: Romano cheese is less expensive and gives the same taste and texture :). (Buy block and shred as needed-Romano and Parmesan -when sold fresh (look for no salt colored chunks appearing in the block) – last a atleast a month or so in the fridge. We always use it before it goes bad 😉

  • Shirley

    I think there are so many ways that you can make this your own. I look forward to trying different ingredients combined.

  • Lalita

    This was delicious. Thank you for sharing!

  • PATI

    Just made this and my grandchildren loved it. As did my husband, who hates vegetables. Can’t wait to make it again.

  • Lynda Poe

    Love this recipe, eat it all the time only we fix on the grill. So good.

  • Ashley

    I made this last night and it was so so good and so so easy. Thank you so much for posting such a healthy and delicious zucchini recipe!

    • Watson

      you are very welcome 🙂

  • Krys

    Looks fantastic! My neighbor gave me some zucchini and squash from her garden and now I know what I am going to do with it. Will the squash turn out the same as the zucchini with the same cooking time and temp? I always think of squash as softer than zucchini… or maybe it’s just the name, lol!

  • Sherry in Union, KY

    This is a simple yet tasty way to enjoy zucchini. I used three zucchini and found that a half tablespoon of olive oil was plenty. I brushed oil on both sides rather than wasting parchment paper. I also suggest cutting back on the Parmesan to about 1/4 cup. Thanks for the yummy idea!

  • Marites

    I made this last week for some friends and it was a hit!!!!

  • Lisa Soared

    Need to try this my husband not a fan of veggies he’s a caveman only meat he says lol but this might change his mind yum!

  • Lmkanemoto

    Looks great! I have some asparagus in the fridge right now. I may try the asparagus version tomorrow for lunch!

  • Misty Swearingen

    Looks fantastic!

  • beth

    And who wont have enough zucchini to try this with summer right around the corner???
    love grilled zucchini- and this looks very similar!

  • theresa

    yummy 🙂

  • Zucchini Fan Lucy

    I can’t get bored of zucchini even when I eat it by itself, but this is an awesome way to make it more delicious. 🙂 Have you tried it with mozzarella?

  • Gloria

    I not only have Celiac Diseas, but am also Diabetic. It is sometimes difficult for me to select the right foods, mostly becaause my husband will not eat healthy, even though he’s had a triple bypass, and Colectomy. Some of the healthy foods I cook, he is willing to eat it, but the dish needs to look pretty. (he’s one of those that eats with his eyes first, if he doesn’t like the looks, he just won’t eat it. This recipe sounds yummy, and I might just convince him to eat it. Thanks for the Recipe.

  • Paul R.

    The recipe sounds great and I plan on using your recipe today. Confused by picture and directions for cutting zucchini. Somebody else cook and create the image?

    • Sara

      Nope it is all me – you can cut the zucchini however you like

  • Peggy

    This looks amazing! Zucchini is my all-time favorite vegetable and roasting it really brings out the flavor. However, the zucchini is cut in half, lengthwise, not in fourths. You’d have eight pieces if it were cut in fourths. Still, I can’t wait to make this! So glad I found this recipe.

Parmesan - Roasted Zucchini Recipe (2024)

FAQs

How do you keep zucchini from getting soggy when roasting? ›

Thick slices

Especially when roasting, zucchini should be sliced into thick, ½ inch slices to ensure they don't get soggy in the oven.

Should you salt zucchini before roasting? ›

Draw out excess moisture.

Another way to keep your roasted zucchini from falling apart during cooking is to remove some of the water trapped inside. To do this, cut your medium zucchini in half lengthwise and sprinkle liberally with salt. The salt will both flavor the zucchini and pull moisture to the surface.

How do you keep zucchini crisp when cooking? ›

The secret to zucchini with the best flavor and texture is roasting it in a 450°F oven. Roasting zucchini at a high temperature instead of baking or sautéing helps develop browning and a slight char on the outside, which keeps it from getting soggy.

How do you keep roasted vegetables crispy? ›

The #1 Tip for Extra-Crispy Roasted Vegetables
  1. Preheat oven to 425℉.
  2. Prep veggies and pat dry (ensuring the veggies are dry will help avoid clumping with the cornstarch). ...
  3. Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch per pound of vegetables. ...
  4. Roast until fork-tender and crispy, 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the vegetable.

How can I enhance the flavor of zucchini? ›

You can season the oil before you add the zucchini with garlic, shallots, spices, or red pepper flakes, it's totally up to you. Once the oil, butter, or combination thereof is heated, add all of the zucchini. If the pan seems crowded at first, don't worry. Season with salt and toss to begin drawing out the moisture.

Does salt draw water out of zucchini? ›

Salt causes zucchini rounds to release excess water. This important extra step helps the zucchini to sauté rather than stew in its own juices. I found quarter-inch slices the perfect thickness. Thinner slices fall apart during cooking; thicker slices require a longer salting time.

Should you add dry spices before or after roasting vegetables? ›

For foolproof delicious roasted vegetables every time is to season with salt and pepper and some garlic powder before roasting, but feel free to try out other dried herbs and spices too. Adding balsamic vinegar or another sauce is a great way to add flavor too.

How long to soak zucchini in salt water? ›

Place the zucchini slices into a large bowl and fill it with water. Add 2 tablespoons of the salt into the zucchini and water. Stir. Let the zucchini soak in the salted water for about 45 minutes to draw the salt flavor into the chips.

Do you squeeze water out of zucchini before measuring it? ›

Yes, packing the zucchini (patting down) in the measuring cup will give a more accurate measurement, and will help you to have success using this recipe. I place the zucchini in a measuring cup (after squeezing out liquid) then just pat it to measure out 1 1/4 cups.

Why is my zucchini slimy when I cut it? ›

Mushy texture: A spoiled zucchini has a mushy or stringy texture when you cut it, and it may feel slimy to the touch. "Off" smell or taste: If your zucchini smells sour or foul in any way, or if it tastes unusually bitter, it has likely gone bad.

Why is my roasted zucchini mushy? ›

Mushy veggies are also often the result of overcooking. When the interior is loaded with moisture, you have to cook it for much longer to evaporate all of the water and avoid the interior having the unappealing, spongy, raw texture that eggplant and zucchini are notorious for.

Why is my baked zucchini bitter? ›

Bitterness in zucchini can be caused by environmental stress (mild bitterness) or plant genetics (severe).

How do you keep baked zucchini from getting soggy? ›

ELEVATE THE ZUCCHINI by placing it on a baking rack, then setting that baking rack on top of your regular baking sheet. This allows air to circulate on all sides of the zucchini and helps water evaporate so the zucchini is beautifully caramelized, not soggy.

How do you reduce moisture in zucchini? ›

You only need a little salt — half a teaspoon of kosher salt for one medium zucchini, say — to start pulling the water out. Use more, and the zucchini will simply taste like zucchini-flavored salt. If you try to rinse out the extra salt, you risk adding back in the water you just tried to get rid of.

How do you keep zucchini from getting soft? ›

Zucchini thrives in a dry environment, so pop it into the crisper drawer whole, preferably in a plastic or paper bag with one end open for ventilation. The minimal humidity will keep it from going bad. Stored properly, it'll last one or two weeks, though you'll probably see the skin shrivel as the days pass.

How do you keep roasted vegetables from getting mushy? ›

The Oven Temp Is Too Low

A low-and-slow cooking technique is excellent for vegetables like carrots, beets or potatoes that you plan to puree into soup. But, they'll turn out soft and soggy instead of crispy and caramelized. The solution: Turn the oven temperature up to 400°F to 425°F.
