Ingredients:
- 4 medium zucchini squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400F 200C
Wash and dry the zucchini squash
Trim the ends, and then cut slits into each squash, making sure not to cut all the way through
You want to create thin slices without separating the squash into two pieces
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and half of the chopped basil
Using a pastry brush, coat each zucchini squash with the olive oil mixture, making sure to get the mixture into the slits
Season the zucchini with salt and pepper to taste
Place the zucchini squash on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking dish
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and slightly browned
While the zucchini is baking, prepare the lemon and basil feta topping
In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, remaining chopped basil, and lemon juice
Mix well
Once the zucchini is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly
Before serving, spoon the lemon, basil, and feta mixture over the hasselback zucchini squash
Garnish with additional lemon zest and fresh basil leaves if desired
Serve your gluten-free hasselback zucchini squash with a burst of flavor and enjoy!
