Ingredients:
½ c shredded cheddar cheese

½ c grated Parmesan cheese, plus an additional 2 tbsp

Directions:
1. Prepare the oven and preheat to 190 degrees C or 375 degrees F.
2. Apply cooking spray to a small baking dish.
3. Put the zucchini in a colander, then sprinkle salt. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. Wrap the zucchini, then squeeze it to remove most of the liquid.

6. Place it inside the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
7. Add bread crumbs, 2 tbsp of Parmesan cheese, and melted butter into a mixing bowl. Stir until well mixed.
8. Remove the zucchini from the oven, then sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top.
9. Put it back inside the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes at room temperature.
11. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes:
Feel free to garnish with your preferred herbs.
It is important to drain the zucchini before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients.
