Method

To make Baked Breadcrumb Zucchini, first wash the zucchini carefully, trim them and cut them into cubes. Put the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a bowl and, once you have finely chopped the parsley with the garlic clove, add them to the bowl. Mix everything well.
Add the zucchini cubes, mix well with your hands, sprinkle with a little paprika to taste and mix again.
Now arrange the zucchini on a lightly oiled baking sheet, drizzle with oil and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for 15 minutes. When the baking time is up, cook for another 5 minutes under the broiler.
Once ready, take your Baked Breadcrumb Zucchini out of the oven and serve. It makes a great side dish for all kinds of main courses. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Tips

For perfect Baked Breadcrumb Zucchini, we recommend cutting the zucchini into cubes of the same size.

Storage

Baked Breadcrumb Zucchini keeps in the fridge for 1-2 days but, like all au gratin dishes, it will lose its “crunch”.
