Satisfy your hunger with Cheesy Garlic Zucchini Steaks a tasty and easy dish that turns simple zucchini into a flavorful meal

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large zucchini (about 1 pound each), sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend (or a mix of basil, oregano, thyme)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • Slice the zucchini into 1-inch thick rounds. You want these slices to hold their shape through roasting without becoming mushy.
  • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, and dried Italian herbs. Stir to blend everything well.
  • Place the zucchini steaks on the baking sheet in a single layer. Brush the garlicky butter mixture generously on both sides of each zucchini slice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Roast the zucchini in the oven for about 12 minutes. They’ll soften a bit and start to release moisture.
  • Remove the tray from the oven, and carefully flip each zucchini steak over. Now sprinkle an even layer of cheddar and Parmesan cheese on top of each one.
  • Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 5–7 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling, turning a gorgeous golden brown.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh burst of color and flavor.
  • Serve warm as a side dish or a light vegetarian main.

    • Notes

    Thick, juicy zucchini slices topped with a golden, bubbling layer of cheese and rich garlic butter. Crisp, tender, and packed with garlicky, cheesy flavor, perfect as a side or light vegetarian main dish.
