Instructions
1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a cast iron or oven-safe skillet in the oven for 15-20 minutes. 2: Prep the zucchini. Add the zucchini to a plate and top liberally with salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes then pat dry with paper towels. Do not rinse. 3: While the zucchini sits, make the oil by combining olive oil, pistachios, basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Mix to combine. 4: Remove the pan from the oven, drizzle about 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp olive oil, then add the zucchini face down. Place in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. 5: When the zucchini is done, allow it to cool for a few minutes then assemble the salad by adding arugula, zucchini, most of the Parmesan, and a few spoonfuls of the oil to a bowl. Toss gently to coat. 6: Serve topped with extra Parmesan and oil, if desired.View original recipe
