How to Make Baked Zucchini

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly butter a medium-sized (approximately 9x13 inch) baking dish.
  3. Slice 2 medium zucchini (approximately 1 pound total) into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
  4. In a medium saucepan, gently boil zucchini rounds with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt for 7-10 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Add 1/2 small onion (about 1/4 cup chopped) during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  5. Drain the zucchini and onion in a colander.
  6. Return the zucchini and onion to the saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano.
  7. Mix gently to combine.
  8. Transfer the zucchini mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle generously with 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
