Kid-Friendly Broiled Zucchini with Cheese


Who ever said that eating your veggies can't be fun??? Kids will eat basically anything if it looks good, smells good and they don't feel pressured to try it. Trust me this will be very popular with your kids especially when they see that you are enjoying this dish as much as they are. These make great appetizers before a main meal.

Kid-Friendly Broiled Zucchini with Cheese

Ingredients

-3-4 zucchini (8-10 inches long,same size zucchini works best)
-your favorite season salt or fresh spices to season zucchini
-finely grated cheese (enough to cover zucchini)
(I used low fat mozzarella mixed with fresh Parmesan cheese)

Directions

1.Preheat broiler and put rack into middle position or about 4 inches
away from broiler.
2.Wash zucchini and cut off ends.
3.Cut into slices about 3/8 inches wide.(It's important that all zucchini slices are same width so they can cook evenly).
4.Rub a large baking sheet with olive oil.
5.Cover baking sheet completely with zucchini rounds, putting them as close together as possible.
6.Sprinkle each zucchini piece with whatever seasoning salt or spices you're using.
7.Completely cover top of zucchini with grated cheese.
8.Broil until cheese is browned and zucchini is barely tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Serve immediately.
Yields approximately 6 servings

Enjoy!!
