Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3 large zucchini, sliced
  • 8 egg whites, divided
  • 3 cups ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 3 cups tomato sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.

Step 2
Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, and oregano together in a medium shallow bowl. Set aside 2/3 cup for the topping.

Step 3
Whisk 2 egg whites in a small bowl. Dip zucchini slices into egg whites, then press into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides. Arrange coated slices on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; leave the oven on.

Step 5
Mix ricotta, parsley, and remaining 6 egg whites together in a bowl. Spread 1/2 of the tomato sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer with 1/2 of the zucchini slices, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers once more, then top with remaining bread crumb mixture.
