How to Make Baked Zucchini With Cheese
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and slice 2 medium zucchini (about 2 cups sliced) lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Place zucchini slices in a colander and sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Gently pat dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and a pinch of black pepper.
- Add the drained zucchini slices to the cheese mixture and toss gently to coat.
- Pour the zucchini mixture into a lightly oiled 2-quart casserole dish.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
