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
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.
