Baked Courgette - Ocadorol

Ingredients

• 4 small courgettes , washed and halved lengthways
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves , very finely chopped
• 50g parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper , freshly ground

Prepare Ahead

Step 1 can be prepared several hours in advance and the courgettes cooked when ready to serve.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Arrange the courgettes, cut-sides up, in an ovenproof dish large enough to hold them in a single layer. Lightly brush with the olive oil, then sprinkle with the garlic, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.                     

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the courgettes are tender and the cheese is browned.
