- Set 4 foot-long sheets of parchment paper on a work surface.
- Put a zucchini, a lemon thyme sprig and a bay leaf in the center of each.
- Drizzle each zucchini with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Fold the paper in half over the zucchini, then fold up the 3 open sides, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the zucchini; staple each side once or twice to seal.
