Baked zucchini with parmesan
This baked zucchini casserole loaded with Parmesan cheese is not only a cinch to make but also utterly delicious! It makes a wonderful side dish, or you can serve it as a vegetarian entree. It’s perfect for your next dinner party, weeknight dinner with the family or potluck! See below for the full recipe.
When I mean easy, I mean easy! Slice your zucchini into ¼-inch rounds, toss with tomato sauce, herbs, garlic, onions, Parmesan cheese and flour. The flour prevents the dish from turning watery. I like to shingle the zucchini pieces nicely in the casserole dish and then top with more Parmesan cheese. Bake until the cheese turns a beautiful golden brown, and you’re done!
