Cheesy Zucchini Bites

I always plant zucchini in my garden. I have learned, over the years, to only plant one. That is all I can keep up with (until the squash bugs come and I get grossed out). I love zucchini because it has such a mild flavor and it is so versatile. One of my favorite lunches is sauted zucchini with carrots and onions and a veggie chicken patty. YUM.

Do you have a gazillion zucchinis from you garden and you’ve had all the zucchini bread you can handle? Yup, me too. I’m always experimenting with the zucchini and this is one of my favorite ways to eat it. You can make it for a snack, appetizer, or if you’re like me – lunch!

Slice the zucchini, toss the slices in olive oil with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and then lay on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with cheese (I used parmesan and monterey jack for mine but you could use whatever you have) and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool and then enjoy. Easy and fast! My kind of snack.
