Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole image

This Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Casserole is an easy side dish recipe that pairs beautifully with just about any family meal!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups grated zucchini ((I used about 3.5 medium zucchinis))
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup finely minced or grated onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 eggs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus an additional 2 tablespoons
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a better flavor and texture than zucchini that has been stored for a long time. If you can, buy zucchini that was picked within the last day or two.
  • Grate the zucchini coarsely: This will help the zucchini to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Use a combination of cheeses: This will give the casserole a richer flavor. Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, or Gruyère cheese.
  • Add some herbs or spices: This will help to brighten up the flavor of the casserole. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done when the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking will make the zucchini mushy and the cheese tough.

Conclusion:

Zucchini casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With a few simple tips, you can make a zucchini casserole that is sure to please everyone at the table.
