How to Make Baked Grated Zucchini

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash 2 medium zucchini, leaving the skins on. Grate them using a hand grater or food processor.
  3. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and generously salt it. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Then, thoroughly press out the moisture with paper towels.
  4. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  5. Transfer the grated zucchini to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Dot the zucchini with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces, distributing evenly.
  7. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and carefully pour off any liquid that has collected in the bottom of the dish.
  9. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  10. Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  11. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
