Zucchini Parmigiana

Ingredients

  • 3 medium sized zucchini sliced into planks
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese use the stuff you shred yourself!
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella sliced
  • 1/3 cup freshly shredded parmesan cheese
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Lay your zucchini planks on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 15 minutes to release some of the moisture. After the 15 minutes, wipe off water with a paper towel.
  2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees and spray a baking sheet with non stick spray.
  3. In a shallow dish combine your two breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  4. In a separate dish, put your two beaten eggs.
  5. Dip each plank into the eggs and then the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly and completely.
  6. Once all planks are battered, lay on baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, turn each plank and then bake for another 5 minutes, keeping a close eye that they don't over brown.
  7. Remove from oven and push planks together or lay together in a casserole dish. Top with marinara down the center and the mozzarella cheese and other 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese.
  8. Return to the oven and cook for 5 minutes or until cheese starts to brown.
  9. Serve immediately with paste or whatever you like and enjoy!
