Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Zucchini: Trim off the stem ends of the zucchinis. Cut each zucchini lengthwise in half, creating boat-like shapes.
Arrange on the Pan: Lay the zucchini halves skin-side down on the prepared baking pan.
Score the Zucchini: Use a fork to gently score the flesh side of each zucchini half twice lengthwise, creating a few shallow lines. This helps the flavors to penetrate better.
Add the Butter: Brush the melted butter over the scored side of the zucchini halves, ensuring even coverage.
Season and Sprinkle: Generously sprinkle the zucchini with granulated garlic. Follow with a layer of Parmesan cheese and finish with a sprinkle of fresh ground pepper. Add a pinch of kosher salt to taste.
Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The zucchini should be tender, and the Parmesan cheese should be lightly golden brown.
