Ingredients

• 3 medium (about 1.5 lbs total) Zucchini
• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and dry the zucchini and tomatoes. Slice both into thin, even rounds (approximately 1/4-inch thick).

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley, thyme, and basil, setting aside for later.

Step 4

Arrange the zucchini and tomato slices in the prepared baking dish, alternating the slices to create a visually appealing pattern. Slightly overlap each slice.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the arranged zucchini and tomatoes. Sprinkle with garlic, salt, black pepper, and the chopped herbs (parsley, thyme, and basil).

Step 6

In a small mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Melt the butter, and stir it into the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the zucchini and tomato slices.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the breadcrumb topping is golden and crispy.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
