NOTES
*Za`Atar is  a popular spice blend used in Israel. It is a blend of ground dried thyme, oregano, and roasted sesame seeds. It can  be  purchased from Amazon. 
*I selected the Magda Middle-Eastern Zucchini for its nutty flavor and paired it with the Parmesan Cheese because of the salty nutty flavor it has, it really brings the dish together.
*I served this  dish with roasted boneless chicken thighs.
