Baked zucchini recipe
Anyone in no time can prepare this super simple and quick-baked zucchini. The secret to this delicious flavor is to add a little salt before baking. To allow the excess water to escape, after baking it’ll be burnt on the outside and soft on the inside, like fried. It would be best if you tried it.
What you need
This recipe is very simple, it contains zucchini, garlic, olive oil, and salt. You can also use squash instead of zucchini. You can use garlic powder if you’re too lazy to chop fresh garlic. You can also sprinkle some black pepper if you like.
How to make
- Wash the zucchini first, cut it parallel and cut it into 4 small strips on one side.
- Sprinkle the surface with a little salt and wipe it. Wait for 5 to 10 minutes until the surface is dry. In this way, it'll be tastier and sweeter after baking.
- At the same time, you can chop the garlic and put it in a bowl. Pour olive oil into the bowl and mix it evenly with the garlic.
- After you've lined the baking sheet with parchment paper, place the zucchini on the parchment paper and arrange them.
- Use a spoon or a brush to spread the garlic olive oil over each zucchini.
- Preheat the oven to 446F (230C) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
