Such a simple dish - but due to delicious sour cream and a mixture of aromatic herbs, it may well become a decoration even for a festive table.

How to cook Zucchini baked in sour cream

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. If the zucchini has a thick skin, it can be peeled. Slice the zucchini into 1 cm thick slices. Season the flour generously with salt and pepper and paprika.

Step 2

Heat up the oil in a large frying pan. Dip the zucchini slices in flour and fry in oil until golden brown on both sides. Arrange the cooked zucchini in a large baking dish slightly overlapping.

Step 3

When all the zucchini are ready, wipe the pan with paper towels and fry 2 tbsp. l. flour over low heat, stirring often, 3 minutes. The flour should turn beige. Pour flour into sour cream and mix.

Step 4

Remove stems from thyme and basil. Chop thyme, parsley and basil together with peeled garlic as finely as possible, add to sour cream and mix or beat with a blender.

Step 5

Pour the sour cream over the zucchini and place in the oven until golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Serve hot.
