Parmesan Zucchini Bake

In the summer, we are overloaded with fresh veggies.

One of those veggies being zucchini.

The other night I threw together a dish that was so yummy!

Slice 4-5 zucchini into little sticks.

Place sticks in baking dish.

Add tiny pats of butter throughout the mound of zucchini.

Pour Kraft Parmesan cheese all of the zucchini.

Bake covered on 350 for about 30 minutes or until zucchini is tender.

Uncover and broil until cheese is crispy and brown on top.

Super easy and super yummy!

** For a less fat, use EVOO instead of butter. ;-)
