  • Shred the zucchini evenly: Use a grater with large holes to achieve uniform shreds. This will ensure even cooking.
  • Squeeze out excess moisture: Zucchini tends to release a lot of water. To prevent a soggy casserole, use a colander to drain the shredded zucchini and gently squeeze out any excess moisture.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil or parsley add a burst of flavor to the dish. Chop them finely and sprinkle them on top before baking.
  • Don't overcook: Keep an eye on the casserole during baking to prevent overcooking. The zucchini should be tender but still have a slight bite.
  • Serve immediately: Baked zucchini casserole is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two and reheated before serving.
