Parmesan Roasted Zucchini With Everything Bagel Seasoning

1 month ago | killingthyme.net | Dana Sandonato

Preheat the oven to 450º F. Give your zucchini a good rinse and dry, then chop it up into bite-sized pieces. I like cutting mine on angles, but you can do clean 1/2-inch thick rounds if preferred. Transfer the chopped zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Smash and peel all 3 garlic cloves, and then with a microplane, grate the cloves over the zucchini. This gives you a nice garlic paste that distributes evenly throughout the zucchini.

Preheat the oven to 400º F. Prepare a small baking dish (6 x 9″, 8 x 8″—something around this size). Thaw the frozen spinach in the microwave as per the instructions on the package. Once thawed, transfer the spinach to a colander in the sink or over a bowl to let excess liquid drip out. Once it's cook enough to handle, squeeze it hard in bunches numerous times to release excess liquid. Using a cheesecloth is helpful if you have one.
