Instrucciones

Preheat oven to 400°. Arrange zucchini and tomato slices in overlapping rows in a 9”-x-13” baking dish. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over vegetables and season with salt and pepper.

Combine bread, Parmesan, fresh herbs, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and red pepper flakes, if using, in the bowl of a food processor or mini chopper and pulse until the mixture has broken down into crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl, toss with remaining 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil and season with pepper. Scatter breadcrumb mixture over vegetables in an even layer.

Bake until zucchini is tender and breadcrumbs are golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
