HOW TO BAKE ZUCCHINI
The best way to avoid over cooking your zucchini is to set an oven timer. Over cooked Zucchini can be soggy and unpleasant to eat.
For this recipe, you are going to first bake your Zucchini at a high heat for 20 minutes, then broil (or grill) for an additional 5 minutes to get that irresistible golden and buttery crumb to crisp up nicely.
HELPFUL TIPS:
