I have always loved the zucchini Parm that I grew up with, but now that I am a parent I wanted something quicker, easier, and healthier. This is what I came up with. Enjoy! Serve as a side dish with your favorite tomato sauce and pasta.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 2 zucchini, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (such as Great Value Fiesta Blend®), or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease an 8-inch baking pan.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add zucchini, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Increase heat; cook and stir until zucchini is almost soft, about 7 minutes. Drain excess liquid and transfer to the prepared baking pan.
Step 3
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and Mexican cheese blend over zucchini.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese has melted and starts to turn brown, about 7 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
Please play with the measurements! I don't usually measure when I cook and do a lot of "sprinkling," "covering," and "to taste". So measurements for this recipe have been eyeballed from experience.
