Zucchini Tomato Bake

Healthy Zucchini Tomato Casserole with garlic and Parmesan in 5 minutes of prep. Serve as low carb side dish or add cooked chicken for a 30 minute dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 large or 2.5 lbs zucchini, cut into quarters
• 10 oz grape tomatoes, cut in halves or 2 large tomatoes, diced
• 5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp any dried herbs like basil, oregano or Italian
• 3/4 tsp salt
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/3 cup parsley or basil, finely chopped
• Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray 8 x 8 or 9 x 11 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients, except parsley/basil; stir to combine.
3. Transfer to a prepared baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes for crunchy zucchini or 35 minutes if you like well cooked vegetables. I recommend checking for doneness with a fork or knife after 25 minutes.
4. Remove from the oven, garnish with basil or parsley and serve hot/warm.
