Zucchini Bake with Tomatoes, Garlic and Parmesan
Zucchini Bake with Tomatoes, Garlic and Parmesan
We love Parmesan zucchini sticks and I have baked tomatoes topped with Parmesan cheese a number of times. So, I thought why not to combine both with some garlic and make a healthy zucchini bake?! Cheese with garlic is always a winning combo. In Ukraine, garlic and dill go together like lime and cilantro in Mexico.
Great success! This zucchini tomato casserole literally took me 5 minutes of chopping. You can use green or yellow zucchini or a squash type. Heirloom tomatoes would be delicious instead of grape tomatoes. Throw in some cooked diced chicken, ground turkey or tofu to make low carb zucchini bake a complete meal.
