Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Zucchini Parmesan.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Once boiling, toss in the sliced zucchini and let it cook until tender, then drain it thoroughly to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
In a medium skillet, drizzle some olive oil and heat it over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until the onion becomes soft and fragrant, which should take about two minutes.
Step 6
In a spacious 9x12-inch casserole dish, combine the tender zucchini with the sautéed onion and garlic, then generously pour marinara sauce over the top, stirring everything together to create a harmonious blend.
Step 7
Finish by sprinkling a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese across the surface.
Step 8
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the zucchini is warmed through and the cheese is bubbling with golden perfection.
Step 9
Enjoy this delightful dish that brings comfort and flavor to your table!.
