Zucchini Frico

Zucchini is one of my favourite vegetables. It's very versatile so I'm happy to try this recipe.

INGREDIENTS

  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • 1 medium Romanesco zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 4 ounces Parmesan, grated medium-fine (about 1 cup)
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Cracked black pepper.

PREPARATION

1.
Brush a large nonstick skillet with oil and heat over medium-high until hot. Arrange half the zucchini rounds in a single layer, allowing about an inch of space between them. Cook, without moving them, until undersides are dark golden, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden, about 2 minutes more.
2.
Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over zucchini and into the spaces between it. Cook, without moving, until cheese looks lacy and translucent, and no longer sticks to the pan, about 5 minutes. Tip the skillet and using a spatula, gently help slide the frico in one piece onto a large plate. Sprinkle with torn basil and finish with pepper. Repeat with remaining zucchini and cheese. Break into pieces to serve.
YIELD
4 to 6 hors d’oeuvres servings.
