A delicious side dish that your family will love.
This dish is a delicious adaptation of Homes Chef’s Zucchini and Sun-Dried Tomato Au Gratin. I did not care for the sundried tomatoes, so I adapted the recipe. I am certain you will enjoy it.
AuthorChuckHThis a delicious side dish. I really enjoy the onions with the zucchini.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Sliced zucchini diagonally to make oval slices that are approximately 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
In a large nonstick skillet, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Fry the zucchini on medium heat until brown on both sides but still firm and crunchy. You will have to fry approximately 8 to 10 pieces at a time. Once the zucchini is browned, place on a baking sheet covered with paper towels to absorb the oil.
In the same skillet, add 1/2 tsp olive oil and cook the minced garlic until fragrant or about 30 seconds. Add the onions and 1/4 tsp of salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat until caramelized or about 3-4 minutes.
In small baking dishes (I used 2 cup pyrex bowls), add alternating layers of zucchini, onion/garlic mixture, and grated parmesan cheese until you run out of zucchini. I did three layers and ended with the zucchini. On top add 0.5 ounces of shredded Parmesan cheese to each bowl. Top with 2 ounces of heavy cream per bowl.
Bake for 12-15 minutes of 425. I baked mine on a baking sheet for ease of removal from the oven. The bowls are hard to grasp.
When ready to serve, add 1/2 ounce of fried onion crumbs on top.
Enjoy!
