• 3 tablespoons, melted unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray or a light coat of oil.

Step 2

Wash the zucchini and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Set them aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and dried Italian seasoning. Stir until well mixed.

Step 6

Add the sautéed onion and garlic to the cheese mixture, then gently fold in the zucchini slices. Ensure the zucchini is evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the zucchini mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the zucchini casserole.

Step 10

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
