Best Grilled Zucchini Casserole Recipes

ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cook onion in olive oil (for the topping) until tender, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Slice tomatoes and place on paper towels to absorb liquid, about 2-3 minutes.
• Combine zucchini, Italian seasoning, olive oil and garlic in a bowl. Toss well and season with salt and pepper.
• Alternate zucchini and tomatoes in stacks. Place the stacks on their sides in a 2 ½ qt baking dish or 9x13 pan. Cover with foil and bake 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine all topping ingredients in a small bowl (including onions from in step 1) and mix well.
• Remove foil from casserole and top with topping. Bake uncovered an additional 20 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
• Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve warm.

GARLIC PARMESAN ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 1 ½-quart baking dish; set aside.
• Place zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and allow to sit for about 10 minutes (this will help draw out some of the water from the zucchini). After 10 minutes, squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini. TIP: In order to make sure that you get most of the water out of the zucchini (and avoid a runny casserole), wrap the zucchini in a dish towel. Squeeze it and wring it out multiple times while it's in the towel -- you will be shocked by how much liquid comes out!
• In a large bowl, combine zucchini, onion, garlic, eggs, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. Gently press the mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
• Bake uncovered for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, pour melted butter over breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Stir until completely combined.
• After 20 minutes, remove zucchini from the oven. Sprinkle buttered breadcrumbs over the zucchini and return the dish to the oven. Continue baking for about 5-10 more minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

25+ BEST ZUCCHINI RECIPES: BAKED ZUCCHINI RECIPE WITH PARMESAN AND THYME

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the grated Parmesan, thyme, and spices in a medium bowl.
• Prepare a large baking sheet that's topped with a wire baking rack. Lightly brush the wire baking rack with extra virgin olive oil (or use a healthy cooking spray.) Place the zucchini spears, skin-side down, on the baking rack in a single layer. Brush each one with extra virgin olive oil.
• Sprinkle the herb and cheese topping on each zucchini stick so they are all lightly coated.
• Bake in the heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. For a crispy golden topping, broil for 2 to 3 minutes more. Watch it carefully so the zucchini does not burn.
• Serve immediately as an appetizer with a dipping sauce, or as a side next to your protein of choice.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI AND EGGPLANT CASSEROLE WITH PISTACHIO PESTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Preheat a grill for cooking on medium-high heat.
• Drizzle the eggplants, zucchini and spring onions with 1/4 cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place everything on the grill and cook until just seared, about 2 minutes per side. Place the bell peppers and tomatoes in a large baking dish. Bake until blistered, about 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, dice all the vegetables and add to a medium (10- to 12-inch) cast-iron casserole dish. Set aside.
• Add the garlic, pistachios and basil to a food processor. Turn on and drizzle in 2 ounces olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3 ounces olive oil and the cheese. Taste for seasoning and texture. Top the eggplant with the pesto and grate the Parmesan over the top.
• Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
