Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 oz Parmesan cheese, finely shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice zucchinis in half lengthwise and score the flesh with a crosshatch pattern. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, combine garlic, red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons olive oil; sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to a small bowl.
  3. Heat remaining olive oil in the skillet and pat zucchini dry. Sear cut sides down until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes), then transfer to a baking sheet.
  4. Brush zucchini with garlic oil mixture and bake for 8-10 minutes until tender. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  5. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown. Serve warm.
