Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil or butter.

Step 2

Wash the zucchini and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the slices with 1 teaspoon of salt and place them in a colander to drain for 10 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dice the onion and sauté it for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, cooking for another 1 minute. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 5

Assemble the casserole by layering half of the zucchini slices in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle them with a little black pepper.

Step 6

Add half of the sautéed onion and garlic mixture over the zucchini, followed by half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 7

Repeat the layers with the remaining zucchini slices, onion and garlic mixture, and mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Top the casserole with the breadcrumb mixture, spreading it evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling at the edges.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious zucchini casserole!
