Broiled Zucchini - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 small baby zucchini (approx. 8 inch , not the big fat ones)
1 teaspoon melted butter or 1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 pinch sweet paprika

Preparation

Wash off zucchini, cut off ends and split lengthwise.
Lay the split pieces of zucchini cut side up in a lightly greased baking dish.
Pour over the butter or oil.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the cut edge.
Sprinkle with spices.
Broil just until the zucchini slices get a lovely light brown on the top.
Remove from the broiler, it will be cooked ala-dente' with about half of the crunch still in it.
It is easiest to eat with a sharp knife handy to cut into small chunks for each bite -- but make sure you get some of the spices and cheese with each bite -- hm-m-m-m.
