ZUCCHINI BOATS WITH PARMESAN CRUMBLE
What makes the Parmesan Crumble special are crunchy panko breadcrumbs and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Using regular breadcrumbs changes the texture entirely. I love the crispy, crunchy texture of the baked panko with the soft smooth texture of zucchini. The other two important ingredients are butter and fresh garlic.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or or aluminum foil.
- Mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic, and black pepper in a small bowl. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until evenly mixed throughout. Allow to sit for 5 minutes to absorb the butter.
- Trim the root end off the zucchini. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise. With a tablespoon, scoop out the center of each half to remove the seeds. You should end up with a well in the center if each. Place the scooped zucchini halves, cut side up, on the baking sheet.
- Fill the center of each well with the crumble mixture, packing down and covering the top of each zucchini half. Sprinkle some extra parmesan cheese on top and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 35 - 45 minutes in the hot oven until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the zucchini halves are fork tender.
- Slice each half in 4 pieces and serve warm. Spoon any fallen crumble on top for extra crunch.
PARMESAN ROASTED ZUCCHINI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Trim the stem end of the zucchini, cut them in half lengthwise, and scoop out a small channel of seeds with a regular teaspoon. Place the zucchini in one layer on a sheet pan, brush generously all over with olive oil, and turn the zucchini cut side down. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until just tender but still firm when tested with the tip of a small paring knife.
- Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the panko and 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil and mix well.
- Turn the zucchini cut side up and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the panko mixture evenly on each zucchini. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the panko is crispy. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
SAUTéED YELLOW SQUASH AND ZUCCHINI
Steps:
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the zucchini, squash, Italian seasoning and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini and squash are tender and beginning to brown in some spots, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.

YELLOW OR ZUCCHINI SQUASH BOATS OR STUFF THAT ZUKE
Another great recipe for the garden conquering Squash or Zuke. Even my doggie likes this one!! (she tries to steal her very own squash boat) Makes a great appy or side dish. Not a recipe for someone who has to use exact measurements because there may be some adjustments due to the water content of the squash.
