Zucchini Parmesan Hoagies Recipes

ZUCCHINI PARMESAN HOAGIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Sprinkle both sides of zucchini slices with salt and pepper. In 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat 2 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat.
• Place flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs in separate small bowls. Beat 1 tablespoon water in with the eggs. Dip seasoned zucchini slices into the flour, then the egg mixture, and then the bread crumbs.
• Place half of the zucchini rounds in hot skillet until crispy. Turn, and toast up the crumbs on the opposite sides. Remove; repeat with remaining zucchini slices. Either place zucchini back in skillet or in ungreased ovenproof baking dish.* Cover with marinara sauce. Top with provolone cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until cooked through and fork inserts easily into rounds.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir garlic into remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Brush onto sliced hoagie buns. Toast on grill pan until crispy. Serve zucchini on toasted buns with fresh basil.
• *If you decide to bake them in a baking dish, they'll take longer since it won't be hot like the skillet. Add 10 to 15 minutes to the bake time, or simply bake until fork inserts into them easily.

PARMESAN ROASTED ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Trim the stem end of the zucchini, cut them in half lengthwise, and scoop out a small channel of seeds with a regular teaspoon. Place the zucchini in one layer on a sheet pan, brush generously all over with olive oil, and turn the zucchini cut side down. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until just tender but still firm when tested with the tip of a small paring knife.
• Meanwhile, make the bread crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, parsley, basil, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the panko and 3 1/2 tablespoons of oil and mix well.
• Turn the zucchini cut side up and spoon a heaping tablespoon of the panko mixture evenly on each zucchini. Bake for another 8 to 10 minutes, until the panko is crispy. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
