Here is another tasty, yet simple to make appetizer/side dish. The zucchinis would taste much better if you throw them on an outdoor grill. Enjoy. 2 lb medium zucchinis 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp paprika 2 tsp dried oregano 2 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper Remove stem and cut zucchinis in half. Arrange in a large baking pan. Add salt, pepper, paprika and oregano to both sides of the zucchinis. Brush with olive oil on both sides. Heat oven broiler at 500º F. Keep the oven door half open to avoid any fire dangers. Broil each side of the zucchinis for 7-8 minutes until golden brown. Serve as a side dish or an appetizer.
