Preparation steps

Rinse zucchini, wipe dry and cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/2-inch) thick slices.

Grease a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil and spread the zucchini slices evenly on sheet.

Grate Parmesan, mix in a bowl with the breadcrumbs and sprinkle evenly over the zucchini slices.

Drizzle remaining olive oil over zucchini. Bake on middle rack of preheated oven at 200°C (fan 180°C, gas: mark 3) (approximately 400°F) until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring milk to a boil in a pot with 300 ml (approximately 1 1/4 cups) of water and season with salt. Stir in polenta, bring to a boil and cook over low heat until smooth and creamy, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.

While the polenta is cooking, rinse basil, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop finely.

Mix the polenta with basil, season with salt and pepper and serve with zucchini slices.
