• Sprinkle the Parmesan-thyme topping on each zucchini stick
• Bake in heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Then, for a golden crispy topping, broil for 2 to 3 minutes more, watching carefully.

GARLIC LEMON AND PARMESAN OVEN ROASTED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
• Cut zucchini into 4 wedges through the length.
• In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, lemon zest and garlic. Align zucchini on prepared baking sheet spacing them evenly apart.
• Brush olive oil mixture over tops of zucchini (working to get some of the garlic/lemon zest on each piece and not just in one spot. It clumps together a little so just spread it out).
• Sprinkle tops with parmesan cheese (try to get as much of it on the tops as possible, you can pick up what was sprinkled off to the sides of the zucchini and add it to the tops) and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Bake in preheated oven 11 - 13 minutes then, adjust oven rack near top of oven and broil for several minutes until parmesan is golden brown. Serve warm

ZUCCHINI TART WITH LEMON THYME GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the flour, butter, and tsp salt until the butter is the size of small peas. Add the vodka and 3 tbsp of cold water, 1 spoonful as a time, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Add one more tablespoon of water if you need it.
• Shape the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk; wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
• Roll the dough on a well-floured surface or between two sheets of parchment paper into an 11-inch round that's 1/4-inch thick. Put the dough on a baking sheet layered with parchment paper, cover with plastic, and chill until ready to use (at least 30 minutes).
• In a colander, toss the zucchini with 2 tsp salt and drain for 30 minutes. Gently squeeze the slices with your hands to release excess water and transfer to a medium bowl. Slices should be more pliable.
• Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Toss the zucchini with 1 tbsp of the olive oil. In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with the lemon thyme and salt and pepper to taste.
• Spread the cheese over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Arrange the squash rounds in tightly overlapping concentric circles all the way to the edge of the dough. (The rounds will shrink as they cook.) Drizzle with the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil and bake until the zucchini is golden-brown, 40 to 50 minutes.
