How to Make Baked Zucchini With Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and slice 2 medium zucchini (about 2 cups sliced) lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Add the drained zucchini slices to the cheese mixture and toss gently to coat.
  6. Pour the zucchini mixture into a lightly oiled 2-quart casserole dish.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
