Parmesan Crusted Zucchini

If you like zucchini, you will LOVE this side dish. Not the healthiest way to make it, but it is SO good! And it's super quick and easy to make too!

*1.5 T Butter
*1T olive oil (or a little less)
*1 small onion (sweet or white)- sliced into slivers
*1 large zucchini- cut into 1/2 inch half moons
*1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
*seasonings (Nature seasoning, salt, pepper...)

First put the butter and oil in a pan over medium heat. Wait till butter is melted. Add onions. Saute them for 4 minutes. Add zucchini. Season. Saute until Zucchini is fork tender, but not mushy. Pour mixture into a baking dish (i use a small glass pyrex. Sprinkle cheese over top. You can either bake for 10 minutes at 450, or what I like to do is broil on high for 2-3 minutes till cheese is starting to get brown and bubbly. (keep your eye on it, don't let it burn:) )

Enjoy!!

Put in baking dish and cover with cheese

I love it when the cheese gets a little bit toasted and crunchy!!
