Baked Zucchini
This is one of our favorite ways to eat zucchini as well as one of our favorite side dishes. It is really simple to make and highlights what a wonderful vegetable zucchini is. As you know, zucchini is quite bland and needs to be seasoned well but it is one of the quickest, most versatile vegetables to cook. The garlic, zesty salsa and cheese in this recipe give zucchini much flavor.
I always make extra because I absolutely love zucchini sandwiches for lunch. I can eat them many days in a row with extra cheese.

Yes, yes i like extra cheese too, and definitely this zucchini recipe will be included in every meal at home, and because my mom is just a housewife she will make them every time I’ll ask for, and specially because they require little time to make them. After this Baked Zucchini definitely goes nice cake which are describe in Keikos Cake review community.
Cheers
