Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 medium yellow squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or spray a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
Wash and dry the zucchini and yellow squash. Trim the ends and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, yellow squash, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned squash in the prepared baking dish, spreading them out into an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well.
Sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the squash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a vegetarian main. Enjoy!
