Oven baked zucchini - food preparation.

For baking, it is preferable to take young zucchini - they have tender pulp and a thin skin that can not be peeled. Although "adult" fruits are also suitable, if you first remove the rough skin and core with seeds from them. The older the zucchini, the rougher its skin and the more difficult it is to cut. Therefore, when using a sharp knife, be careful not to cut yourself. The middle with tough seeds can be removed quite easily with an ordinary tablespoon. Further, the fruits are cut according to the recipe - in circles, longitudinal plates, cubes, and baked.

Oven baked zucchini are the best recipes.

Recipe 1: Zucchini baked with sour cream sauce.

This dish can be characterized in three words - fast, easy, tasty. Zucchini are not fried in oil, there is not very much of it in the recipe at all, which means that the final product will not be too high in calories. You can use both regular zucchini and zucchini.

Ingredients: two medium courgettes, 4 tablespoons. tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 table each. a spoonful of chopped parsley and dill, 3 cloves of garlic, one glass of sour cream, 150g cheese, salt and pepper.

Cooking method.

In order not to waste time, you can immediately turn on the oven so that it warms up to 220 C. And while the oven is warming up, prepare the vegetables. Cut the zucchini into small cubes, approximately 1x1 cm in size. If the fruit is small in diameter, you can cut it with wheels of one centimeter thick.

Fold the zucchini into a regular plastic bag, add chopped parsley, salt and pepper and vegetable oil to them. Twist the bag on top so that air gets inside and shake it well so that the zucchini is evenly salted and covered with a mixture of oil and parsley. Cover a baking sheet with foil, sprinkle vegetables, smooth them and bake until half cooked for about 20 minutes.

Grate the cheese, add dill, salt and pepper, sour cream, mix very well, you can even use a whisk. Pour this sauce over the semi-prepared zucchini and send to the oven for baking. Put the finished product on a flat dish, squeeze the garlic on top, and, enjoying the divine aroma and whetting your appetite, decorate with sprigs of herbs. You can serve.

Recipe 2: Zucchini baked with tomatoes and cheese.

This appetizer looks very presentable, therefore, you can safely decorate the festive table with it, spreading the zucchini on green lettuce leaves. Moreover, it is tasty and healthy.

Ingredients: a kilogram of zucchini, a pound of tomatoes, 100 g of cheese, 3 cloves of garlic, salt, ground pepper, vegetable oil

Cooking method.

Cut vegetables into circles - zucchini a centimeter thick, tomatoes a little thinner. Chop the garlic on a press or fine grater.

Fry the zucchini on 2 sides until crisp (golden brown) and spread on a baking sheet. Grate the top of the zucchini with garlic and put the tomato wheel. Season with pepper, salt and sprinkle with cheese. Bake the zucchini for 25 minutes at 180 C.

Recipe 3: Zucchini baked in the oven.

An interesting option, somewhat reminiscent of making pizza. It is not necessary to specially buy meat ingredients, you can wait for various cuts of meat to accumulate in the refrigerator after the holidays or just like that. Here they can be collected together with the zucchini bored on the bottom shelf and successfully processed. To tell you a secret, the purely vegetable version, cooked without meat, is also very tasty. Try both ways, you won't be disappointed.

Ingredients: 2 zucchini, half a spoonful of dry seasonings (to your taste - dill, oregano, basil), 2 cloves of garlic, meat products (any) - 150 g, salt, 2 medium-sized tomatoes, pepper, 150 g of any hard cheese, 200 ml mayonnaise.

Cooking method.

Turn on the oven and heat to 180 C. Cut the young zucchini into centimeter-thick slices, grease with a mixture of salt, pepper, dry seasonings and place on a greased baking sheet. From the overripe zucchini, you need to remove the coarse peel with a knife and remove the core with seeds. Fill the resulting voids with zucchini pieces. Sprinkle this layer with finely chopped garlic.

Remove the skin from the tomatoes and cut into thin slices. To make it easy to remove, you need to scald the tomatoes with boiling water or put in boiling water for a couple of minutes. Cut sausage, sausages or other meat products into thin slices or strips, as you like. Grate the cheese, dilute mayonnaise with water or broth so that it is easy and evenly distributed over the entire surface.

Collect "pizza" - put tomatoes on zucchini with garlic, top with meat cuts, then cheese and pour over everything with diluted mayonnaise. The last layer is mayonnaise, not cheese, because there will be foil on top, and the melted cheese can stick to it. Therefore, a top layer of mayonnaise will save the day.

Cover the entire baking sheet with foil and bake for half an hour. Then remove the foil, add heat to 250 C and bring to a golden brown. Serve the dish not very hot.

Recipe 4: Zucchini pancakes with cheese, baked in the oven.

Unusual serving of courgettes. Zucchini fritters are not fried, but baked in the oven. The dish only benefits from this, because it turns out not at all bold. And cheese and herbs enrich it with vitamins and nutrients.

Ingredients: 1-2 zucchini (0.5 kg), sour cream 250 g, ¾ cup flour, salt and pepper, 3 eggs, 1 tsp. a spoonful of baking powder, any greens - dill / green onions / parsley, 150-200 g of any pickled cheese, not very salty (mozzarella, feta cheese, Adyghe, suluguni, etc.).

Cooking method.

Heat the oven to 200C. Grind the zucchini on a coarse grater, season with salt and leave for five minutes. Squeeze out excess liquid and drain. Finely chop the greens, grate the cheese.

Add all the ingredients to the zucchini, mix thoroughly. Cover the baking sheet with paper and spoon out the dough. When baking, it will disperse to the sides, therefore, so that the cakes do not stick together, you need to leave a distance between them. Bake for about fifteen minutes, until the pancakes are lightly browned.

3. Then we spread the zucchini on a paper towel and also blot it on top to remove the remaining droplets of juice.
4. Cover the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, lightly grease with vegetable oil. We spread the zucchini mugs in one layer. Sprinkle with ground pepper, spices, dry favorite herbs and granulated garlic on top.
5. If you don't have dry garlic, you can substitute garlic oil for it. To do this, pass 1-2 cloves of garlic through the garlic and mix it with 1 full tablespoon of vegetable oil, mix well. And brush every vegetable circle with this mixture. Only in this case, first coat, and then sprinkle with pepper and other seasonings.
6. For dry herbs, I use basil, oregano, rosemary, but can be supplemented with your favorite - or with a mixture of herbs.
7. Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan on top of each zucchini circle. Please note: if you decide to replace Parmesan, then you need to choose hard cheese. Since semi-hard (like Russian, Sour cream, and so on) melt when heated in the oven, and Parmesan dries up and forms a crispy crust.
8. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees, and bake the zucchini for 15 minutes. If during this time the zucchini do not have time to brown, then turn on the upper grill for 1-3 minutes. Only in this case you need to make sure that the baking sheet is not too high, otherwise the zucchini will burn.
9. We take it out of the oven, transfer it to a dish - and you can serve it right away. But they are tastier when they cool slightly.

What appetizing and tasty zucchini baked in the oven turns out: golden, crispy cheese crust and tender, juicy, downright sweet zucchini pulp. And what aroma from seasonings, spices, garlic is divine! This appetizer is very light, tasty, healthy and low-calorie. To be honest, I pamper myself with it even before going to bed and don't worry - it won't affect my figure.
