2-3 medium zucchini (about 1.5 lbs), very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or Italian blend)
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional garnish: Fresh chopped parsley or basil
The Genius 15-Minute Method
(Turn your broiler to HIGH and position a rack about 6-8 inches from the heat source.)
Step 1: Prep and Season the Zucchini
On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss the thinly sliced zucchini with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread it out into a relatively even layer.
Step 2: The Initial Broil
Place the sheet pan under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, until the zucchini is just starting to become tender and is lightly charred in spots. Keep a close eye on it!
Step 3: Create the “Sauce”
Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Pour the heavy cream evenly over the zucchini and sprinkle with half of the Parmesan cheese. Toss everything right on the pan to combine.
