Zucchini Fans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 to 4 medium zucchini
2 to 4 cloves minced garlic
3 peeled, sliced plum tomatoes
oil, salt and pepper

Preparation

Wash the zucchini; do not peel it.
Make long cuts, approximately 1/8-inch wide, down the length of each zucchini, leaving the stem end intact.
Do not cut through the last 2 inches near the stem.
Gently \"fan\" out the long strips and place a plate on each one to weigh it down and encourage the \"fan\".
Between each slice, tuck several slices or chunks of tomato, minced garlic and sprinkles of salt and pepper.
Place in a wide pan; sprinkle with oil and bake for 30 minutes at 350\u00b0.
Just before serving, shake grated Parmesan cheese over each zucchini.
Makes 2 to 4 servings.
