Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 100 grams Grana Padano cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the zucchini and tomatoes, then slice them evenly into 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick rounds.
Grate the Grana Padano cheese using a fine grater and set aside.
Finely chop the garlic and parsley, and mix them with the breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons of Grana Padano, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Arrange the zucchini and tomato slices in the dish, slightly overlapping them in alternating patterns (zucchini, tomato, zucchini, tomato).
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the arranged vegetables, ensuring full coverage.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining Grana Padano, and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm.
