My first homegrown zucchini!

Last night I finally got to pick something from the garden. A beautiful zucchini! I couldn't wait to cook it. I wanted to try to keep it as fresh as possible, not alter the zucchini too much by means of breading etc, so I could actually enjoy the flavor of my very own zucchini.

I decided to roast it in the oven with just a few spices. 

I chopped the zucchini into disks, and put them into a gallon ziplock bag. I added about a tablespoon of Olive Oil, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and thyme. Shook it all up, and spread them out on a foil covered cookie sheet. I baked at 350* for about 20 minutes, sprinkled them with a little bit of Parmesan cheese, and put them back in the oven on broil for another 2-3 minutes. They tasted amazing! I ate a few just like that, and a few dipped in a little bit of Cucumber Ranch salad dressing.

Soo so good!


Can't wait to pick a few more! I have a couple that look like they'll be good to go by the weekend!
