Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup yellow onion diced
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 2 cups fresh zucchini grated
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegan Parmesan cheese grated
- 12 slices of baguette bread 1/2-inch thick
- red pepper flakes optional garnish for serving
Instructions
- Set the oven to Broil.
- Into a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until tender. Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the grated zucchini, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine with the onion mixture. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
