Ingredients

    4 small new potatoes (red or white, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter)
    2 tablespoons butter
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
    1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
    2 small zucchini, cut in 1/2 lengthwise (about 1-inch wide by 5 inches long)
    Pinch kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the potatoes and cook until just tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and let cool.
When cool, cut the potatoes in half.
Place a medium saute pan over medium heat.
Add the butter, garlic, thyme and rosemary and let cook until the butter melts, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, season the cut sides of the zucchini and potatoes with salt and pepper.
Carefully place the zucchini and potatoes cut side down in the melted butter.
Let them cook until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.

Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the browed zucchini and potatoes on the baking sheet cut side up. Sprinkle the tops with the Parmesan. Place in the broiler until the cheese is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve.

    I did the potatoes in the microwave as well to cut down the time. I've made them twice so far. :) - 3/12/08

    Delicious! I made just the zucchini. I didnt have thyme, so I used basil. I cooked it just in the pan, because I didnt want to heat the oven for one serving. Instead, after taking the zucchini out, I put parm cheese in the pan and melted it, then put it on top of the vegetable. I love it! - 3/16/08

    A good, new way to prepare zucchini and potatoes. I cooked the potatoes in the microwave oven which reduced the total cooking time to about 30 minutes. - 2/19/08
