Challenge #87 - "Garlic Bread"

I love looking at other people's recipes to become inspired.  Rande is always coming up with new stuff or finding other amazing recipes and posting them.  A couple of weeks ago, she posted  this recipe which looked so delicious, but I wanted to try a vegan version.  So thanks to Rande and Alissa for the inspiration...

Ingredients:
1 medium to large zucchini
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast (for the cheese flavor, found at any health food & most grocery stores)
water

Step #1 - Zest garlic clove. 

 

Step #2 - Add Nutritional Yeast to zested garlic  and begin to mix to form a paste.  Add water as needed to facilitate blending

 

Step #3 - Cut zucchini in half and add diagonal cuts.

 

Step #4  - Spread garlic paste onto zucchini and bake ay 350 for 20-30 mins until the zucchini is tender

Step #5 - Remove from oven when done and enjoy.  We ate ours along with whipped parsnips and an avocado salad.   Very yummy!  My husband liked it too even though I didn't use actual cheese or bread!
Oh I went a little overboard on the garlic, so this recipe adjusts for that. I plan to make the less garlicky version again this week.
