Delightful summertime ingredients come together in this Parmesan Tomato Zucchini Bake, a delicious casserole that is sure to please. This is a great dish for potlucks or family meals since it makes veggies appealing to even the most finicky eaters. While this dish’s origins are in Italian cuisine, I’ve modified it throughout the years to make it more suitable for a home-cooked, family-friendly meal. When you want to highlight garden-fresh zucchini and tomatoes, it’s a great choice.
Light, refreshing salads and crusty garlic bread are the perfect accompaniments to this dish. For a complete dinner, try it with some grilled pork chops or chicken breasts. Pair it with a refreshing drink of lemonade or white wine for an extra special touch.

For 4-6 servings, try this zucchini and parmesan tomato bake.

What to do
Turn the oven on high heat (375°F, 190°C).
Throw the tomato slices, zucchini slices, olive oil, garlic powder, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper into a big bowl and mix well. Toss the veggies around until they’re evenly covered.
Slice the zucchini and tomatoes alternately and place them in a baking dish that has been buttered. Your dish’s form will dictate whether you build rows or a spiral.
Evenly distribute the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses over the surface.
Tent the baking dish with foil and place in the oven for twenty-five minutes.
After ten to fifteen minutes of baking without foil, the cheese should melt and become golden.
Before garnishing with fresh basil (if desired) and serving, let the dish cool somewhat.
Tips and Variations

Prior to topping with cheese, you may enhance the taste by adding a layer of cooked and crumbled Italian sausage or ground beef. To provide some diversity and satisfy those in your family who aren’t crazy about zucchini, consider using half yellow squash and half zucchini. To make it lighter and lower in carbs, omit the mozzarella and use solely Parmesan. Last but not least, for the spicy-tasting among you, a dusting of red pepper flakes may give the meal that extra something.
