The "Sesame Street" characters have created a cookbook.

"C Is for Cooking" features recipes from Elmo and Cookie Monster. The book has recipes parents and children can cook together.

Ingredients

  • 6 small zucchini (or yellow summer squash, or a combination, thin)
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Cooking Directions

    With kids: Use a plastic knife to slice each zucchini into 1/4-inch-thick rounds.

    In a large saucepan, steam or boil the zucchini until barely tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside to cool slightly.

    Preheat the broiler.

    With kids: Place the zucchini in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle each "coin" with a tiny pinch of salt and some Parmesan cheese.

    Broil the zucchini until just golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Tip: You can steam the zucchini coins, lay them out on a baking sheet, and sprinkle them with cheese in advance, then broil them just before dinner.

    This recipe was styled by chef Karen Pickus for Good Morning America.
