Zucchini-Cheese Appetizer is an easy and fast recipe to fix for your family and friends.

Zucchini-Cheese Appetizer Recipe for Solar Cooking

 

We live in a fast paced world. We’re busy. We drive fast cars. We eat fast food. We cook fast in the microwave.  We expect waiters to bring our orders fast. Whatever it is, we want it fast. But, when solar cooking,  we must temper that  urge for “fast” and learn to slow down, take it easy, and judge the food by the taste and not by how fast we got it. Until now!

Zucchini-Cheese Appetizer cooks fast even in a solar oven – and especially in a tube cooker. Just chop up the zucchini, toss it into the tray, top with cheese, and slide it in. And to make it even better, chop up an onion too. Then sit back and relax with your guests for half an hour.

The time it takes to cook in a solar cooker depends on the type of cooker, the food being cooked, the weather, and how focused the cooker is to the sun. In other words, the more focused the cooker is, the hotter it gets, and the faster the food will cook.

 How Long Does It Take To Cook in a Solar Oven

I added onions to my appetizer tray because I love grilled onions. I used a GoSun Sport and cooked the vegetables for only 35 minutes. Just long enough to melt the cheese. So the vegetables were soft but still crisp and not mushy.
