Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 4 medium Roma tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 small Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Wash and dry the zucchini and tomatoes. Slice them into thin, uniform rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoned oil.
Arrange the zucchini and tomato slices in an alternating, overlapping pattern in the prepared baking dish. Start at one end and repeat until the dish is filled.
Drizzle the seasoned oil evenly over the zucchini and tomato slices, making sure each piece gets a light coating.
In another small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the arranged vegetables.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the topping is golden and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful and healthy gratin!
