Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zucchini Tomato Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a light greasing to a 2-quart casserole dish to ensure nothing sticks.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab a pot and set it on the stove with a steamer basket inside.
Step 3
Fill the pot with water and bring it to a gentle boil.
Step 4
Once the water is bubbling, add your cubed zucchini to the steamer basket and let them steam for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
You want them to be tender but still have a little bite to them.
Step 6
When they’re ready, carefully transfer the zucchini into your greased casserole dish, spreading them out evenly.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine some freshly chopped dill, a dash of ground black pepper, and melted margarine.
Step 8
This fragrant mixture will add a delightful flavor to your dish, so pour it over the zucchini, making sure every piece is nicely coated.
Step 9
Next, layer sliced tomatoes on top of the zucchini, creating a beautiful, colorful display.
Step 10
To elevate the flavors even more, sprinkle chopped basil and a generous amount of grated Romano cheese over the tomatoes.
Step 11
Now, it’s time to bake! Place your casserole in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes.
Step 12
You’ll know it’s done when the casserole is bubbling and has developed a lovely golden brown crust.
Step 13
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a delicious dish ready to share with family and friends! Enjoy your delightful creation!.
