How to Make Baked Zucchini Meal

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 medium zucchini (about 2 cups grated), 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix well.
  3. Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup crushed buttery crackers evenly over the top.
  5. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the topping is golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
