Parmigiano Reggiano Zucchini

Parmigiano Reggiano Zucchini is a brilliant way to serve fresh zucchini in the summertime, so long as you don't mind turning on the oven. Zucchini is sliced, tossed in olive oil and seasoned with black pepper. It bakes for 10 minutes, then it is coated with a layer of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and broiled until the cheese browns and crisps up. With its melt-in-your-mouth richness, Parmigiano Reggiano Zucchini is an all-time favorite side dish.
