Recipe video above. This is just a really tasty, quick and easy way to cook zucchini in the oven. For all those times you need a quick veggie side dish! A little sprinkle of parmesan adds great flavour, and breadcrumbs adds a touch of terrific texture.Roasting at a high temp makes the parmesan golden and gets some browning on the zucchini before they turn into watery mush.

Steps
Preheat oven to 240°C / 450°F (220°C fan) with the oven shelf set high in the oven.
Trim the ends off the zucchini. Cut medium zucchinis in quarters lengthwise, and large ones into sixths (halve then cut each half into 3 lengthwise to make 6 long "wedges").
Pile zucchini on a tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Toss.
Line up in two rows so they're touching each other, with the skin side down.
Sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs, then parmesan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil.
Bake 12 minutes until the parmesan is golden and zucchini is soft but not soggy.
Serve immediately!

Mary Reagan on 2025-07-31 (5 stars): This was really delicious. I love zucchini, but my husband does not. He tried this and was shocked at how tasty it was. He really enjoyed it. So glad to have a recipe for zucchini that is not bread! Thank you
J Hanson on 2025-07-15 (5 stars): This was super simple and super tasty!
Kimberley Hupalo on 2025-06-24 (5 stars): Great recipe, it's now a family staple. We've had it three times already!
Kimberley Hupalo on 2025-06-24 (5 stars): Family favourite! We've made it three times already.
Emily on 2025-06-06 (5 stars): These are fantastic! I brush them with oil and press the cut sides on a plate of the Parmesan bread crumb mixture. Even coverage with almost no topping falling off.
Sharon J Mchugh on 2025-03-07 (5 stars): It’s the most delicious zucchini I ever tasted. I added some shredded mozzarella on top
Kirsten on 2025-02-28 (5 stars): Delicious and super simple! I used a lemon infused olive oil for a bit of extra flavour with no extra effort required, but I imagine it's pretty tasty even with the plain olive oil. We have so many zucchinis at the moment so glad to have a new way to use some of them!
Sally on 2025-01-19 (5 stars): Made this last night, and it was a hit! Included some very finely chopped shallots and dried mixed herbs to the topping, as these are all things that came out of my garden anlong with the courgettes, so I love to use them. Fantastic result. Thank you for the great recipe!
emma on 2025-01-16 (5 stars): these are quick n easy and a great way to use up excess zucchini from our garden! BUT, the topping keeps falling off the wedges, so next time i am going to cut the top slightly flat so that the cheese & crumb have something to sit on!
