Hi, Can the roasted zucchini with parmesan be made the day before eating? thanks

Made recipe exactly. Mine were not crisp, but still very tasty. Next time I will use less cheese (1/3 cup) and maybe it will be more crispy?

It was delicious! I followed the instructions, except baked it a few minutes longer to become crispy.

I followed this recipe exactly as written. While the taste was great, they were soggy like any other time I cook zucchini sticks or discs.

We had this as one of our side dishes with game hen last night. It was crispy and delicious. I made the recipe as written. I usually reduce the amount of garlic in everything I make, but did not. Next time, will cut the garlic to 1/2 tsp.

I don't eat cooked vegetables, especially green ones. I'll eat almost any vegetable raw. Seems to me that when they are cooked, they taste, well, like vegetables! As an adult I know I need to eat more green things and this recipe...WOW!! I think I like these parmesan zucchini rounds better than potato chips!! Thank you for sharing this with us.
