The most delicious vegetables you'll ever eat!!

So... confession. I kinda hate vegetables. And by kinda, I mean I really do. You might have noticed that by now. Really, most of these blog posts actually revolve more around turning desserts (my heart and soul, haha) into healthy treats or creating healthier versions of some of my favorite comfort foods, like french fries and mac and cheese.

Well my friends, enter BAKED PARMESAN ZUCCHINI!
These badboys (along with the purchase of a Vegetti) have completely changed how I feel about vegetables on my plate. No longer are they the things I MUST eat because they are good for me, but they can, indeed, become the things I CRAVE.

So, how do you put this yummy masterpiece together? Here's what you'll need:
  • 4 zucchini, quartered lengthwise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
And here's what you'll do with it all:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a cooling rack with nonstick spray and place on a baking sheet; set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine Parmesan, thyme, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place zucchini onto prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with coconut oil and sprinkle with Parmesan mixture. Place into oven and bake until tender, about 15 minutes. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
Enjoy!! :D
