Helpful advice
Zucchini tend to emit quite a lot of moisture when baking, sometimes it even has to be drained. To avoid watery dishes, the sliced zucchini prepared for baking should be sprinkled with salt and let the fruit brew for 20 minutes. Just during this time, excess moisture will come out, it can be drained, and the squash itself, squeezed out a little, can be used for its intended purpose.
The shape of baked zucchini can be any, it is not necessary to cut the vegetable into circles.
