Cook the Zucchini Steaks:
- If Baking: Arrange the zucchini slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and slightly golden around the edges.
- If Grilling: Place the zucchini steaks on the grill over medium heat and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
- Once the zucchini steaks are cooked, sprinkle each piece with a mixture of grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Return them to the oven (if baking) or grill for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. If you’re using the oven, you can switch to the broiler for the last minute to get the cheese golden and crispy.
- Remove the cheesy zucchini steaks from the oven or grill. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Tips and Variations:
- Cheese Options: Feel free to swap the mozzarella and Parmesan for other cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or provolone for different flavor profiles.
- Add Protein: For a more substantial meal, serve the cheesy zucchini steaks with grilled chicken, steak, or fish.
- Garlic Butter Sauce: Drizzle a little garlic butter on top of the steaks for extra flavor.
- Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic mixture for a spicy kick.
