Garlic butter-coated zucchini baked with mozzarella and Parmesan for a cheesy, golden finish.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Vegetables

01 - 3 large zucchini

→ Seasoning and Butter

02 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
05 - ½ teaspoon salt

# Detailed Directions:

01 - Wash and dry the zucchini, then slice each lengthwise into 1.25 cm thick slabs.
02 - Combine melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and stir until blended.
03 - Arrange zucchini slabs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush generously with the prepared garlic butter mixture.
04 - Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 12 to 15 minutes until tender but firm.
05 - Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over each zucchini slice, then return to the oven for 5 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
