Here is a very tasty way to use up any extra bread crumbs or croutons you probably have sitting in your pantry.
3 large zucchini (do not peel)
1 to 2 tablespoons Gefen Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup flavored bread crumbs, panko crumbs, or leftover salad croutons, crushed (see note)
2 tablespoons Gefen Extra-Virgin Olive Oil or melted butter
1 and 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cut zucchini in half lengthwise and then in half again. Cut each wedge into three-inch sticks. Place in an oven-safe baking dish; coat zucchini with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and bake for 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the bread crumbs in a bowl and mix with olive oil or melted butter.
Remove zucchini from oven when done. Sprinkle with cheese and then bread crumb mixture. Sprinkle some additional kosher salt and bake uncovered for eight minutes. Serve hot.
