For a more crispy consistency put under broiler for a few minutes approximately 5-10 minutes more.

• Please Note*- This recipe is one of those recipes that measuring is not crucial I simply “eyeball” it depending on the amount of zucchini I have to work with. Use your own judgement when preparing.
