Tips:
- Use fresh zucchini: Fresh zucchini has a better flavor and texture than zucchini that has been sitting around for a while. Look for zucchini that is firm and has a deep green color.
- Shred the zucchini coarsely: This will help the zucchini cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a combination of cheeses: Using a combination of cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
- Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole is done when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the zucchini is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Serve the casserole immediately: The casserole is best served immediately after it is baked. This will help prevent the zucchini from becoming watery.
