Garden Fresh Zucchini and Tomato Melts
That is exactly what I love to hear! There is no better feeling than watching a dish you poured your heart into disappear within minutes. It sounds like you were the star of the potluck!
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis cut into ½-inch rounds
- 3-4 Roma tomatoes sliced into thin rounds
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange zucchini rounds in a single layer. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Roast the zucchini for 8–10 minutes until they just begin to soften.
- Remove the tray from the oven. Place one tomato slice on each zucchini round.
- Top each stack with a tablespoon of shredded cheese.
- Place back in the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra color, broil for the last 1–2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.
