Zucchini Bake

Ingredients:

  • 4 small zucchini
  • ½ small onion
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  • ½ cup panko crumbs
  • 2 TB Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. dried parsley
  • ¼ tsp. paprika
  • ¼ tsp. baking powder

First grate the zucchini by using the larger side of the grater and place in a large mixing bowl. Then, carefully grate the onion using the smaller part of the grater to get a fine result.

Then add the following dry ingredients: salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and dried parsley. Mix and then pat down the zucchini mixture and spill out excess liquid.

Once drained, add ¼ cup of the panko crumbs, 1 TB of the cheese and the baking powder. Mix until combined. Once mixed, spread into a 13×9 glass dish that has been lightly sprayed. Spread the mixture evenly into the dish. Now, take the other ¼ cup of panko crumbs, 1 TB of cheese and paprika and create a mixture to them top over the zucchini. This will create a light crust.

Place in a 375-degree oven for 55 minutes. Serve as if you are scooping a casserole and enjoy!
