This is another one of gma’s star recipes that she has passed down to me. You can use either zucchini or eggplant – I prefer zucchini because it’s softer, but it works well with both. Easy to make with simple ingredients that you generally have in the fridge. Makes for a good side dish or appetizer. And these are baked — not fried — so feel free to eat a whole bunch of them. : )
