My neighbor Meagan gave us two giant zucchini last night, and the girls and I just devoured one of them a few minutes ago because a recipe for Zucchini Parmesan popped up in my inbox from www.sparkpeople.com this morning with very convenient timing. Liberty and Mercy called our snack "Zucchini Cookies" since the slices were about the same size and shape of cookies. I thought I'd share.
Easy Zucchini Parmesan
This quick and healthy snack tastes like a gormet side-dish, but just takes minutes to prepare! And as a bonus, it's an easy way to get the kids to eat their vegetables.
INGREDIENTS
Zucchini, 1 cup, sliced
Parmesan Cheese, grated, 1 tbsp
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Original Buttery Spray, 10 sprays I skipped this ingredient, since it's not real food. We don't enjoy eating plastic. :-)
Non-stick cooking spray I used Olive Oil spray which added a trace amount of calories.
DIRECTIONS
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, then coat with some non-stick cooking spray. Place the zucchini slices out on the pan, then spritz with them with the butter spray. Sprinkle on the parmesan cheese and then pop it in the oven. Broil for a few minutes - until the cheese starts to brown. Enjoy it while it's warm!
Make a larger batch for a delicious and healthy side dish for any meal! Your family will love it!

Sounds good! I may just have to buy more zucchini next time I am out.
I am guessing zucchini are what we call courgettes?
Spencer, I looked it up. Courgettes ARE zucchini. Although I was surprised that the British are using a French name for the vegetable, but with your countries so close together, I guess that is to be expected. We use a lot of Spanish words in our regular vocabulary simply because Mexico is so close to us, and Spanish-speaking people are a major part of the US culture.
